Not seen a thread about this yet.

Eddie Bravo has put together arguably the best field to date for his 6th installment of the 16-man submission only no-gi tournament (Openweight). Competitors include Garry Tonon, Matheus Diniz, Yuri Simoes, Eddie Cummings, Bruno Bastos, DJ Jackson & Rustam Chsiev. Garry Tonon looks to win his 4th EBI.

Dean Lister was meant to be fighting too but pulled out last week.


The Bracket
Garry Tonon vs. Felipe Fogolin
Yuri Simoes vs. Evandro Nunes
------
Eddie Cummings vs. Jacen Lynn
Marcello Salazar Bergo vs. Fabian Bolanos
------
Matheus Diniz vs. Lucas Rocha
Abraham Marte vs. Richie Martinez
------
Bruno Bastos vs. DJ Jackson
Rustam Chsiev vs. Amir Allam



I like Garry Tonon to win the EBI again, even though Diniz beat him twice last year.


For those that don't know, the rules to the submission-only event:

EBI Rules – the basics
• Matches are 10-minutes
• Submission only – no points
• If nobody gets a submission, we go to overtime rounds.

EBI Overtime Rules
• Competitors flip a coin to decide who goes first
• Competitors choose to start attacking from the back or 'spiderweb' position (armbar)
• Competitors take turns to attack from chosen position
• If one competitor submits, and the other does not (opponent escapes), he is declared winner
• If both competitors escape, we move to the next overtime round (maximum 3 overtime rounds)
• If there are no submissions at the end of the three overtime rounds, the competitor with the fastest combined escape time wins the match.
