a little tourny like this shouldnt be so expensive IMO

i think $40 is pretty good.  you get to compete in Gi and No- gi at no extra cost as opposed to naga or grapplers quest, even though i really like those events.  and you can compete one level up from the level you started in.  Eg: beginners can compete in intermediate, intermediate can go to advanced.  however, you can not compete one level back from what you started.  Potentially 4 matches. 

TTT

Competitors can compete in one weight class up to their original weight class and one skill level up to their original skill level.  competitors can also compete in gi and no- gi.  so you can have potentially 8 matches for just $40 registration.  Medals and awards will be sponsored by KTFO

$40 is def a very good price

you can compete in possibly 8 matches for just $40. move up one weight class or one skill level or compete in gi and no-gi.  not to mention, the open weight tourney for a championship belt
