Dragon’s Den Cup- EBI Rules Submission Only Tournament.
The Polish grappling scene is among the fastest evolving and most exciting ones in Central / Eastern Europe. Both GI and NOGI tournaments abound and grapplers have the opportunity to compete almost every weekend by the IBJJF and ADCC rule set. And as the evolution of grappling arts continues the popularity of submission-only tournaments is on the rise.
On January 14th 2017 in the city of Radom (a mere 100 km from the capital city Warsaw) grapplers from all styles will have the chance to compete in an EBI rules tournament. For those not familiar with the rule set: it’s a NOGI, submission-only tournament; allowed techniques resemble those legal in ADCC; if no submission is executed during the match (4-6 minutes depending on the category) there is an overtime round, which starts either from the armbar position or from the back.
Relatively short fight time, no points and overtime rounds make for a very exciting show, thus the popularity of the tournaments hosted by Eddie Bravo – the inventor of this rule set.
Dragon’s Den Cup organizers have put together a big pool of prizes, which amounts to over 5000 euros in total. In addition to attractive prizes, there will be money prizes for the winners of the PRO category.
