Event Description
Combat Sports Report runs its Invitational as a series of 16-man submission-only no-gi brackets rather than traditional weight-and-belt divisions, with each match capped at a 7-minute regulation period. If no submission occurs, a referee scores the round on judging criteria and advances a winner -- no formal point system involved. Every competitor also receives four general-admission spectator tickets with registration, which they can use, sell, or give away. The Chicago-area Invitational takes place Saturday, October 10, 2026, in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, with tournament champions taking home cash prizes and a Combat Sports Report championship rashguard.
