SUB-POCALYPSE (Gi): BJJ SUB ONLY TOURNAMENT (White/Blue)

Back for our 8th Event!!!

All athlete ticket fees will be donated to Down Syndrome UK, a great charity.

Unique Sub-Pocalypse Rule Set:

• 4 Person Bracket

• Round Robin

• Sub-only

• 5 Minute Rounds

• Only One Winner - Lowest Time Wins

Push the action, chase the submission and get out of there as quick as you can.

The athlete with the least time on the clock after their 3 bouts is the winner. Your score is your time.

Submit your opponent in 30 seconds, that is your score. If there is a draw (no submission) or loss, your time is 5 minutes.

Upon completion of the bracket the athlete with the lowest cumulative time is the winner.

We always strive to put together a 4 athlete bracket, however this is not always possible.

- 4 athlete bracket you will have 3 fights.

- 3 athlete bracket you will fight each person twice.

- 2 athlete bracket you will have best of 3 fights.
