I just got this e-mail and we will be setting up a booth down at this event! This is an awesome opportunity to be a part of the ADCC grappling circuit, so we hope to see a lot of you northwesterners there! You can easily register on-line and this should be an outstanding event!
This tournament is open to all age, gender and skill levels, and will follow ADCC rules and regulations.
Winners of the Advanced division will get an invite to fight at ADCC National Championships in 2010.
We will have special room rates. STAY TUNED!!!
ADCC officials will be on hand to scout all current and future talent. This is a wonderful opportunity for any Grappler to get discovered. "On The Mat" will have a film crew out there documenting the fights for an ADCC DVD, so you don't want to miss this chance to be recognized.
Remember that the Tournament Mats are for sale. As the Official Mat Sponsor of ADCC, Zebra will be utilizing its highest quality 1.5” Zebra MMA Mats at ADCC events and selling them at discounted prices. To save big, contact Tom@Zebramats.com or call 1-800-989-8085

============================================
Grapplers and Fans,
ADCC Northwest is only a week away. It is very important to know that this competition is open to everyone, no matter age or skill level.
For Children, this is a great way for them to learn the rules and grappling style that ADCC has to offer. We have great medals and all kids get participation medals.
For Adult Novice and Beginners, this is a great no-gi grappling tournament. If you ever want the chance to compete at a higher ADCC level in the future, this is your shot.
For you Intermediates, this is your next step to represent America at ADCC. Test your skills against some of the best Intermediate grapplers in your area. This also gives you the chance to learn all the rules and become a better ADCC Grappler before you turn Advanced.
For Advanced grapplers, this is it. This is your shot to make it to ADCC Nationals in 2010. If you have any desire to fight the Nation's Best, come test your skills this weekend. We currently have four grapplers per weight class who have made it to Nationals, we only need another 12 spots before June of 2010. We will be taking 1 more per weight class from this tournament. Come get it!
We are still looking for referees and table workers. So if you are interested, please let me know. Also please let your school know about this ADCC tournament. There is a nice prize for the Team Champion, so get your team together.
