BJJ

This tournament was an attempt by Rickson Gracie to change the BJJ rule set to make BJJ more palatable for the public.

Some highlights:

• 3 minute rounds.
• Pulling guard gives you -1 point, pass, mount, back mount etc. gives 1 point, sub attempt 3 points.
• Heel hooks allowed.
• Each weight class had 4 competitors and 3 matches.
• Competitors included Marcelo Garcia, Xande Ribeiro, Leonardo Viera, Jacare and Rafael Lovato Jr.

It would be really cool to see something like this format take off again after the huge success of CJI.
