YEP! it's all about high scoring and no stalling. trying to make this as exciting as possible. of course you need to control your opponent for 3 seconds before you are awarded the pts.
thanks for the support guys. let's keep this TTT
My email is Jerrymendez@acom-sports.com . Please email me, everyone, to let me know if you're interested in having this league take place. the more emails i get, the more i can try to get this league going. It's inexpensive, the rules are great for all grapplers (judo, sambo, wrestling). rules are made for high scoring and exciting matches. Tournaments will be going on in NY, NJ, CT. There will be champions in each of those states and ranking for each of those states. This could be huge if it takes place. Grapplers will have at least 4 matches. Winners of divisions will recieve a Medal and be reimbursed there registration fee. End of the month will be the Championship matches for championship belts. winners of conference belts will recieve $100, winners of Unified Title in there weight class will recieve a belt and $300 cash.
