Event Description

Grappling Industries brings its high-volume, round-robin tournament circuit to the Philadelphia area for this October edition, running gi, no-gi, and Absolute divisions under the promotion's own IBJJF-style points and advantages ruleset (with a submission-only track offered at select events). Divisions are split by age, gi rank/belt, and weight class, with adults, masters, and seniors able to add an Absolute bracket for an extra fee -- a format that's made Grappling Industries one of the most consistently-run tournament series across the country. This event is held at Marple Sports Arena in Broomall, PA on October 24, 2026, and welcomes competitors from kids through masters/seniors, gi and no-gi. Registration is online-only through Grappling Industries' Smoothcomp page and closes four days before the event -- spectators can still pay at the door. Full details and sign-up are at grapplingindustries.com or the registration link on Let's Roll.

About Grappling Industries

Grappling Industries is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission-wrestling tournament organizer founded in 2011 in Montreal, Canada, by David Aguzzi. It's built around a proprietary Round Robin format that guarantees competitors multiple matches per division instead of single-elimination brackets, and now runs 200+ gi and no-gi events a year across North America, Latin America, the UK, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

Rules

Grappling Industries is best known for its round robin format: instead of single elimination, competitors in a division face multiple opponents — at least two matches guaranteed in the smallest divisions and typically four or more as divisions grow, with larger divisions splitting into pools that feed semifinals and finals. Placement comes from win-loss record, and a submission win carries extra weight in the standings, so finishing matches matters more than squeaking by on points.

Within each match, scoring follows IBJJF-based rules — the familiar positional point values and advantages apply. Events run both gi and no-gi divisions on the same day for kids and adults, which combined with the guaranteed-matches format makes these events popular for competitors who want mat time, not a one-loss exit.

Always confirm the official rulebook before you compete — organizations update rules between seasons. See the official event page for current rules.
