Nor-Cal Classic Nov. 13, 2010

[CrazyJHL]

This tournament is taking place at the University I attend, and I am pretty excited to see what happens. Just wondering if anyone is going/knows about it. They are expecting a decent turnout, but since it's in Redding I'm just trying to spread the word (we don't have tournaments up here, so this is fairly awesome). Here is the brief note from TQR's website, and I'll link the URL to register online if you want to do so. Deadline is November 8th, midnight.

Team Quest Redding is proud to announce the 1st annual Nor-Cal Classic Jiu-Jitsu Tournament scheduled for November 13th, 2010. All challenges for youth (ages 4-15yrs) will be Gi Jiu-Jitsu only. All juvenile and adult divisions can compete in both Gi and No-Gi challenges. Medals will be awarded for first through third place in all divisions for men, women, and kids. The deadline to register is Monday, November 8th at Midnight!

To ensure that the tournament runs smoothly, we strongly recommend that all competitors and coaches arrive at the tournament ONE HOUR PRIOR to the start of their schedule. The tournament will begin promptly at 9:00am beginning with the youth competitions.

We will be offering hotel discounts and we hope that you come and take advantage of the North State

Not sure if I should participate myself, looks like I'll get 20 classes in before the tournament but I haven't been training that long, and some of the guys in my weight class are 6'8" and 300 lbs...it'll be interesting.

Nice, I was sick, didn't end up going (though I didn't sign up I was planning on watching). Everyone in my house is sick with the flu, even the dogs. Carlos is probably going to break my arm for having to take a week or more off..

Did you compete or just watch?
