EBI has been really great, and I wish there were more events for the rest of us with such a format. Most open BJJ/Grappling competitions do not allow a decent number of neat subs, and I think that is a shame. Now that Eddie Bravo has taken on metamoris, maybe he can take on the IBJJF or NAGA. I would show up and compete.
I like it, winners of the expert division get an automatic invite to EBI?
Depending on where you are from. In southern cali, there is a tournament called Subfighters. I love the format, as close to EBI as you can get, all submissions are legal for all level. Look them up. I wish we would have something like that in TX and people would come out for it. But the reality is that people don't come out for sub only tournament, which is sad.
Submission only, I hate points
That actually is a really good idea. It would be a great way to find new and emerging grappling talent while giving the hobbyist grappler a chance to try new stuff out that they otherwise couldn't and most other competitions.Quote:

Hopefuly one day we'll c some EBI Open in Canada.

EBI's great, but for any tournament to hold up to the level of prestige, Eddie's gotta be there in person. With his schedule, I'm willing to bet he'd do no more than a few. It'd be cool if he did like four a year as in like a 10th planet grand slam or something. Like Wimbledon, there's one in London. Like the Australian open in tennis, there's Australian EBI or Eddie Bravo open. Just brainstormingQuote:

EBI rules, with round Robin format with the participants pitching $25 each into the pot and the money go to the winner. Our 2nd event is on Feb 6 in Lakeland, FL.
We just have one local guy in Orlando Florida that runs a submission only format at his events. Would be incredible if Eddie put together a EBI trials type format Nation wide.
Send me the flyer or info and I'll help promote it. Jitsuculp@gmail.comQuote:
