skintchicken Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I am pleased to announce the Rising Sun Combat Jiu Jitsu World Championship - Absolute. Rising Sun invites the best ground specialists in the world to test their skills against one another to determine the Tycoon world's best grappler. Since this is our first attempt at putting on such a competition there is no ID or weight limit unless there are an overwhelming amount of contestants that fall within a reasonable weight range or there are enough signed up to split the competition into two weight divisions. Future CJJWC tournaments will likely have weight and/or ID restrictions or be limited to a specific weight class. The tournament will be single elimination and there will be three weeks between rounds. Strikes will be allowed. Each fight will be reviewed afterwards and if it appears a fighter has set his sliders to attempt standing strikes he will be disqualified, his opponent advanced, and any prize money will be forfeited. I expect the occasional standing strike due to the roll of the dice nature of the game, but they should be extremely rare. The tournament contracts will be 1/5000/5000 regardless of hype/pop. I am looking for 16 participants. The winner will get $100,000 and the runner up will get $50,000 by way of contract renegotiation before the final fight. The third and fourth place finishers will fight on the same card as the finalists for $15,000, also by way of contract renegotiation. I would appreciate each participant leaving at least one sponsorship slot open for Bushido Clothing, Rising Sun's merch partner, but it is not mandatory. However, any participant that thanks Bushido in their post fight speech will get an additional $1,000 bonus. The tournament will begin three weeks after all participants are under contract with RS and seeding will be done randomly using the Tycoon Tools generator. The fights will be 2 ten minute rounds until the runner up and championship fights which will be 3 ten minute rounds. In addition to the cash prizes listed above, Hellbent is giving 300 items to the winner and 200 items to the runner up (to any fighter or to the manager, whichever the manager prefers). You can support Hellbent by clicking here. Happy Pills will give the winning manager of the tournament 3 months of free supplements for all of their fighters. Also any fighters in the tournament who would like to use Happy Pills will receive free supplements throughout the tournament, just send Kelly McGrady a message with what you need. You can support Happy Pills by clicking here. Rising Sun is looking for additional tournament partners to offer additional prizes to the winner, supplements and/or clothing to participants, etc. To sum things up: 1. No weight or ID limit 2. Single elimination 3. Three weeks between rounds 4. Ground strikes allowed 5. 1/5000/5000 contract 6. $100,000 to winner, $50,000 to runner up, $15,000 to third place by way of contract renegotiation before finals 7. Random seeding 8. The fights will be 2 ten minute rounds until the runner up and championship fights which will be 3 ten minute rounds. Lastly, the following are the rules regarding slider settings: 1. 100% Follow my orders 2. 100% Stick to gameplan (both in General) 3. 100% Try takedowns 4. 100% Go to ground (from clinch) 5. 100% Stay on ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintchicken Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Rising Sun has noticed that there has been some talk about interest in a grappling only tournament, esp. with the implementation of a kickboxing rule set within the game. Since I am a fan of ground fighting, both in this game and IRL, I would like for RS to host a grappling tournament. However, instead of just coming up with some rules, I would like to include the input of the managers that would possibly want to participate. I will likely go with what most people want, but reserve the right to make the final decisions personally. Would you guys rather do a creation tournament or use existing fighters? If existing fighters, any ID restrictions? What weight class or weight limitations would you like to see? How many weeks between rounds? Would you like to see ground and pound allowed or only subs? Would you guys like a single elimination style tournament or a tournament where each fighter fights every other fighter once and the top however many move on to the next round (is this called round robin? thanks for the idea, scotty from vicious fights)? Feel free to make any other suggestions that I may have overlooked and/or offer prizes to the winner, etc. I have reserved the first two posts in this thread for the official announcements, fighter list, any sponsor prizes, updates, etc. I would love to have this tournament be as big as we can get it, but will go ahead with an even tournament amount (8, 16, 32, 64, etc) no matter how big or small it may end up. I look forward to hearing from you guys and putting on a world class grappling tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintchicken Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 with all of the interest i have seen expressed here in the forums i am surprised by the lack of interest i am getting from this thread. am i offering too many options at the moment? should i just go ahead and decide whether it will be a creation tournament or if we will use existing fighters? do i need to announce how much money the winner gets?

Guest Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 U need to come out with a clear outline of what's happening. Don't ask for opinions in a tournament opening post, people will want to know exactly what they are signing up for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBR Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 you already have one of my guys under contract that would be interested --- Peter Stumpp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyMuchacho Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Interested. I'd suggest 2 weight classes split at 170 or 185. No ID restrictions. GnP a must - only BJJ would = too many boring stalemate fights. Elimation style as round robin might be too many fights for people too commit to. I've been thinking if doing this for a while, too. Hell, maybe we could hold a West vs East type of thing if there's enough interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
