So purple, browns and blacks will all be lumped in one division? Am I reading that right?

74

At this time...YES.

This is no different than what NAGA had up until about 1.5 years ago.  We all know there is not a ton of Brown & Black Belts competing...especially here in the Midwest. 

However, I am not opposed to making separate divisions for Brown/Black Belts if I have enough interest on the day of the event.

That said, since we are hosting a Gi Absolute ($300 cash prize & Belt)...it does not really matter much. There will be White - Black Belts in that division.

Awesome. I think its a great idea, looking forward to it.

* Matches will tentatively start at 11:00am (no later than 11:20am)

* The Gi Absolute will be held towards the completion of the Gi Divisions. The No-Gi Absolute will be held towards the end of the No-Gi divisions.  We will call the Absolute Division to a ring to gather the cards of all those that wish to compete in either of the Absolutes. That way we can make sure that you are done with your other divisions.
