There will be divisions for Kids, Teens, Women, and Men of all belt levels, but there will be no preset weight classes.
This is a round robin format tournament. Competitors are separated by rank, then by weight, with the first five lightest competitors making a division, the next five lightest making the next division and so on. Weigh-in is on the day of the tournament, and as there are no set weight classes, there should be no need for weight cutting.With a round robin format, each competitor is matched against each of the other four people in the division, meaning every competitor has FOUR FIGHTS for the day.
The goal of this tournament is to provide positive tournament experience without the normal stress and drama associated with the bigger competitions. In single elimination tournaments, if a competitor loses their first fight, that is the end of the day. This tournament offers competitors months of tournament experience in one day!
Division winners are determined by overall performance.
