Stout PGH BJJ Gi Tournament March 9, 2024
On March 9th, 2024 Stout PGH will be hosting another Pittsburgh BJJ Tournament with men’s & women’s divisions, in seperate divisions for white belts & blue belts. 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 in the 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.. As it is in the gi, we will also not allow reaping. 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 March 7th 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)
