Canada's largest BJJ tournament Grappling Industries after 19 successful events is expanding to downtown NY and Boston in late April and early May of 2014. Our website is www.GrapplingIndustries.com
A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT MAKES GRAPPLING INDUSTRIES UNIQUE:
Grappling Industries is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission-Wrestling tournament. The tournaments follow Round Robin formatting meaning that all adult competitors get 4 fights and all kids competitors get 3 fights just for signing up for a division, that means if you compete in both Gi and NoGi you could get 8 plus fights. This allows you to fight so many different people that you have never competed against before, giving you the experience you deserve. The round robin brackets are followed by a playoffs between the top competitors in the bracket just like professional sports do, this allow competitors to fight as much as possible in a professional atmosphere. We believe that everyone who competes at a tournament should get as much experience as possible that day, fighting through the round robin gauntlet changes a person.
All the fights at our events are recorded and uploaded to our website free of charge. This is an invaluable give away from us to our competitors, allowing everyone who competes at Grappling Industries tournaments to be able to go back in time and study their fights. Watch your growth over time, view upcoming grapplers, and watch some of the best fights we have ever put on. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to have the footage of their work on the mats.
The Grand Prizes at our tournaments are one of a kind, we include Grand Prize all paid trips to the biggest tournaments in the world going on to allow these winners to fight against the world’s best while making a name for themselves. These all paid Grand Prize trips include airfare, 2 nights’ hotel, and registration to the tournament that the Grand Prize is designated to. Our events also consist as far as prizes; giveaways to every competitor, lots of sponsors giving away prizes to division winners, and beautiful custom made medals. We believe it is important that the prizes we give away at our tournament display our everlasting commitment to building and developing the grappling community.
Sounds like a cool idea. How get an event like this done in a timely manner? 
Count me in.

We use 14 rings, pre-registration only, and organize the brackets ahead of time per mat and in order so when posted on the wall at the event everyone knows where they are to be and when.
Sounds really cool.
These guys have their shit together. A solid ran tournament with great prizes.

Thanks so much. We are really trying our best.
Grappling Industries is the truth. They've had tournaments where they've finished EARLY. They're never late and incredibly organized and are going all the way to the top.

Thanks so much. We keep trying to hold the best tournament we can however our biggest critiques are ourselves which has allowed us consistently to keep trying to better the way we organize and promote events.

John, I've competed, reffed, and sponsored Grappling Industries tournaments. The ones they run in Toronto typically end between 3 and 4pm. The ones in Montreal are often a bit earlier than that, but have less competitors. Mats also usually start around four to five minutes after the scheduled start (IE 9:04 AM).
Unless you're an event like the Pans or Worlds, my experience has been that tournaments that say they have to do single elimination because of time are usually just using that as an excuse for disorganization.
Another thing to note, is that all matches are 5 minutes in length, regardless of belt color.
