THE PROVING GROUNDS FORMAT

Built around
your mat time.

Competition is part of the learning. Our standard round-robin divisions give athletes more opportunities to compete, adapt, and grow.

How the format works
01

Round-robin competition

Face the athletes in your bracket. More opportunities than a one-and-done format.

02

Submission only

No positional points inside the match. Submission wins and draws determine your bracket standing.

03

A division for your experience

Gi and no-gi options for developing and experienced grapplers. Elite no-gi is also offered as a separate single-elimination division.

ARRIVE PREPARED

Your tournament starts
before the first match.

Find your division, check your uniform, and know the rules before event day.

YOUR NEXT STEP ON THE MAT

Put your training to the test.
