We have grappling divisions in our tourneys too. Do any other clubs have divisions that are focussed on newaza? I went to a tournament that revolved around points. To win, you had to get 8, and an ippon throw was worth 4, wazari, 3, etc. Submissions ended the fight immediately, daki-age was permitted(Never saw it thankfully), cross grips were allowed with no time limit too. 25 second pins were 4 points too, you'd have to switch to a different hold for the next 25 seconds to get the 8 points....that's a 50 second hold down! Matches were two, two minute rounds with a small break in between. It was alot of fun.
