2013 West FL State BJJ Championships (6/8/13)

Ok guys, another competition update.

This update is about the tournament coming up June 8th in Pensacola, FL. Everyone who can compete, try to please. These competitions aren't always so close to home!! Weigh ins will be the day of the tournament. I thought it was the night before, but I was mistaken.

Kids, teens, juveniles, & women's have to pre-register. Day of registration will not be allowed for these divisions. Women over 18 compete free, or so I was told when I emailed the people putting this thing on. So here's the flyer for the event.

Here are the Juvenile and Adult No Gi weight divisions.

Here are the Kid and Teen weight divisions.

So this should be the schedule for the day of the tournament.
