Organized by Submission Challenge
Little Rock, AR hosts Submission Challenge on August 22, 2026, a no-gi grappling tournament open to competitors of all skill levels as part of the promotion's regional series.
Submission Challenge brings its submission-only format to Little Rock, Arkansas, running matches under ISOF Standard rules with EBI-style overtime if regulation time expires without a tap. The bracket is double-elimination with a third-place match, so there's no scoring on points or advantages here — it's finish or be finished, all the way down to the wire. Divisions cover Youth (4-12), Teens (13-17), and Adults (18+) from Novice through Black belt, plus Masters, Directors, and Executive brackets for competitors 30 and up, with gi, no-gi, and Absolute options for adults. The tournament runs August 22, 2026 in Little Rock, AR. Weigh-ins happen the morning of, starting at 8am, and registrations can be edited up until the Thursday before the event.
