What's the prize money for first place for the mens?

i think most of the pro is 100% payback with a min of 200 bucks

it looks like it's going to be around $300 so far if some more guys enter it will be more.

Got a few more questions...

Single Elimination, correct?

And backing out of the guard is penalized, right?

Correct on both.backing out of the guard means backing out to avoid action.You can stand up back out and try to pass standing eg.cartwheel guard pass ect..

What about jumping guard? Bad?

DR1: Now, is backing out of guard a penalty, or just an advantage given to your opponent?

We will address those situations at the tournament there will be a -2 advantages penalty for backing out of the guard and just falling on your butt will result in 2 negative advantages

Jeff said he was bringing about 6 guy with a couple of guys for the pro divisions.

What are the time limits for the pro divisions?

10 min.

DR1: Very cool, that's the information I wanted to know...

I will talk to Jess and find out.

Don,

I hope you find someone to enter that division with you. I would have been there, but I have previous commitments to some very close friends coming in from out of town.

Good luck with the event & TTT for Don & Jessica!!!
