Thanks again for answering my queries on this one. I'll be there, though I refuse to accept that I qualify for the masters division. Surely 30 isn't too old to be rolling with the whipper-snappers....

Not a problem! Hopefully see some other Bully's or lurkers come and compete! Looking forward to the Gi and No-gi this time, everything is 'go' for me to compete, pew pew!

I am unsure about the Masters age bracket as it is something that has just been added, it could be something to entice more of the 'experienced in life' crowd :TrollDad: so they don't have to risk injury against young crazies, I'd wager (that'd be why I would be hesitant to compete as I get older)!

Feel free to drop the contact a line if you'd like to find out if you can still enter below Masters even if you are 30+.

So the weight class for no gi is really what they say it is plus 1 kilo? Sounds doable.

Aye, that is correct! Weight class + 1kg for no gi or + 3kg with Gi. Be awesome to see you there, Sang :D.

Its going to be a lot of fun. I'll probably enter the Gi division too just to get the most out of my money.

A few more questions since this'll be my first tournament:

Is is elimination style where one loss knocks you out, or do you get a few?
Can we enter multiple weight classes?

**Mr.Miyagi** · Posted On: 10/17/2011 6:37am

Oh! I thought you had done one before as well, Sang!

I'm not sure on the weight classes thing, I was curious about this myself, I'll ask tomorrow or feel free just to pop the info@ email a line asking. Otherwise there is always your weight + absolute if you were so inclined :D.

It's elimination style, first loss will put you out, alas. Depending how big your division is as you go up, there's the tie breaks for 3rd etc.

Hmmm, I thought about cutting down to <91 but I think I'm just going to go the 91+ so that I don't drop a pineapple and a pink lady and get disqualified for being too fat on the day.

So, hypothetically speaking, if I lose both my first round fights (gi and no-gi) what time can I expect to be heading to the pub to consol my shattered ego?

**Mr.Miyagi** · Posted On: 10/25/2011 9:17pm

Uh, I am unsure! We should have 5 mats running at once, believe the kids are morning, adult starts 11-12ish (think it's all on the site, just doing a quick reply cause I'm heading out. No-gi should be finished about 2-3 I believe?
