The ISWA (Int'l Submission Wrestling Assoc) is scheduling many events in southern california. Currently we have 5 scheduled and are adding more. For you northern california grapplers we are working to get some set up there too. I want to take a minute to show you the value of ISWA events.
First let me explain our membership....the membership runs for one year from 3/06-3/07 and cost $75. This membership gets you medical coverage at any ISWA event and even sanctioned practices or seminars. Some people dont have health insurance so this will offer some coverage to them and for those of you that do it will offer secondary coverage for what your primary doesnt cover. If you are comepeting without health insurance you are taking a big risk which could cause financial hardships that could haunt you for many years.
Second is our low entry fee. our entry fees range from $20-30 for each event. at your first event you will have to get the membership plus registation so you are looking at about $100 but after that you only pay the $20-30 to enter. Let me put that into perspective for you. other events are costing you around $75 to enter each time so lets say you attend 3 of those event for a total of $225 and you dont get any medical coverage. Now attend 3 of our events and it will cost you no more than $165 but could be as low as $135 if your school registers in groups. Thats a big savings and the more you compete the more cost effective your membership becomes.
Third is the organization we will bring to the event, Our events are run on full size wrestling mats not puzzle mats or gym mats...only one match per mat so no more crowded mat space. our events are double elimination so you are guaranteed two matches. We have digital scoreboards so you always know what the score is and how much time is on the clock. The tournament will run more like a wrestling tournament with rounds so there will be breaks in between your matches and not wait all day then all of sudden have 3 matches in a 45 minute span.
Lastly we are having other events in Vegas including a team dual meet this summer. If any clubs are interested in having a submission wrestling events we can help you organize and plan an event. it would be a great way to make a little money for your team and maybe put it towards uniforms or a trip out to vegas for an event. If you wait to compete later in the year at an event you are losing the savings of the membership. our goal next year is to have 1-2 events each month! For people that our outside the area dont worry we will be expanding as more clubs step up to have events and we gain more contacts. we would like to have events in Reno, Phoenix, Sacremento, Denver, etc. so if you are interested in helping let us know.
