Seems quiet until February
I'll be at the Good Fight sub-only in Nyack, NY on Jan 31st. There's also a NAGA in New Milford, CT on that day.
EDIT: http://www.goodfighttournament.com/new_york_open.html
US Grappling has a sub only in Greensboro NC on January 31st.
Almost February and pretty far from up in PA, but sub only is awesome and US Grappling is one of the best at running them.
I hate US grappling no reaping rule (unless you're in advanced div). However their tournaments are well run.
Pretty much the same down here. Nothing for a while.
Likewise, It's pretty slow until late January for us as well.
nothing here in MO till February 7th
Yep, Andrew Smith is good people.Quote:

I know NAGA basically allows neck cranks and heel hooks in the novice kids divisions. And then gives the winners swords.
For down times like this around the holidays what Glover is doing with his Sunday Rollout seems like a really good idea. Love to see more people pick it up.
What's the Sunday rollout? In-house tournament?
Basically. Open invite to schools in the area. No time limit match goes to 12 points or sub. Everything is worth points ie bridge from mount for reversal=2 points.Quote:

Cool. Thanks. First to 12 win by 2? (J/k remembering pick-up basketball games where we'd go back and forth for like ten extra points to win)
There's a tournament that DragonLiar is doing the weekend of Jan 24th. I may check it out depending on my schedule.

I might be down for that. It's a lot closer to me than naga the following weekend, but IBJJF rules suck...Quote:

I'll most likely be there. I contacted the guy. The week after I'll be at a sub-only tourney in Nyack, NY, but I like competing as much as possible. Will know for sure right after the new year.
Don't know much about this tourney, but Submit only. Think this is the secont time through NewEngland. Portland ME.

There's a good school up in Portland if you end up heading up there. Team 1 bjj. Nice people let me train twice for free when I was on vacation
Nice thx for the share on the Portland ME tourney!
That sounds like a fun format.Quote:

Each match will consist of one 4 minute running time round. Finals will be scheduled for 5 minutes with overtime possibilities.
Submit your opponent and be awarded 2 points.
Draw your opponent and be awarded 1 point.
Get submitted by your opponent and receive 0 points.
Competitor with most points in each round (including ties) moves on to next round robin.
Each division will consist of brackets of up to 6 competitors. (ie. There is 17 competitors in a bracket you would have 2 groups of 6 competitors and one group of 5 competitors).
The winner of each group (including ties) moves on to the next round robin. In the case above of division of 17 there would be 3 winners plus ties moving on to the final round robin.
Winner of the final round robin group is crowned champion. If there is a tie it goes to a sudden death match consisting one 5 minute round. If that round ends in a draw a coin toss is done and the winner picks a position to start (ie: back control hooks in) and a 1 minute round takes place. If that round is a draw the competitors switch roles each minute until one is submitted.
The matches are short, but I like the round robin and sub-only aspects, with OT rules similar to EBI. And all submissions are legal for intermediate and expert divisions.
Grappling Industries does a round-robin format, too. They'll be in NYC in March.
In house tournament!

I would support.
