Stout PGH Masters (30 years +) NOGI Tournament December 7, 2024

Stout PGH Masters (30 years +) NOGI Tournament December 7, 2024

On December 7th, 2024, Stout PGH will be hosting another Pittsburgh BJJ Tournament with men’s & women’s divisions, in separate divisions for white belts & blue belts. This will also be the first tournament we have ran exclusively for masters (ages 30 and above). Depending on how many competitors register we will also be splitting divisions into 30+ years old & 40+ years old. Currently we are planning on one age group per weight class and belt level but will update everyone if we get enough competitors signed up for two age groups per weight class and belt level. This is a great opportunity for white & blue belts to start competing in a relaxed environment without spending a lot of money or for anyone looking for a good “tune-up” tournament to prepare for a competition later next year. With a double elimination format competitors can expect to get a minimum of two matches. We will use a modified Grappling Industries ruleset for beginners’ brackets (white belts) & Grappling Industries ruleset for intermediate brackets (straight ankle locks & knee bars allowed) (blue belts). You can do the bracket that is appropriate to your belt level if you have more experience than listed on the brackets (i.e. 2-year white belt, 4-year blue belt, etc.) However, there are no leg locks beyond straight ankle lock at white belt & no heel hooks or toe holds at blue belt. This tournament once again, is open to any competitors, regardless of school or team affiliation!

Weight classes for men’s divisions will be 145 and below, 145-155, 155-170, 170-190, 190-220, & >220. (Reminder, if your weight is above the weight class you *cannot* do that weight class. You can email up until midnight on Thursday December 5th if you need to change weight classes. Missing weights will result in a DQ.)

Weight classes for women’s divisions will be 132 and below & 133 and above. (We will add additional women’s weights if sign ups permit)
