So, ATOS goes only "ATOS Gi" now?

Kind of off topic, but a meet style tournament in the larger jiuiitsu cities would be fun

Oh hell yeah

Because during wrestling season, you dual different teams. Usually 2x per week. This means your varsity team shows up to another teams gym, you square off, and you determine the winner of the night. You are basically dojo storming an entire highschool or college about 18 times a year, charging admission, and at the end of the year you know who the best team is. Keep in mind they have 1 division, and 14/10 guys who can score. This isnt a deal where anyone who shows up can score for the team. You select your best 10 guys and you go at it with the other team.

BJJ has absolutely nothing like this. Wrestling is a team sport that has individual tournaments.

Each year in Brazl the CBJJ (IBJJF) host an team tournamant called the Brazilian Team Championships, where fighters compete against each other in a team format solely... Also they have the team points totals at the Major IBJJF comps

BJJ is very insular in comparison to Judo and Freestyle/Greco Wrestling where people from different countries (opposing teams) train with each other more freely... This insular mindest that BJJ has makes BJJ competitors rely heavily on there team mates in order to develop, thus cultivating a strong team mentality

I was not trying to insinuate that BJJ posses the SAME team element as wrestling rather that there sometimes CAN be a team element in BJJ

There's nothing identical but most tournaments do track team points, including all IBJJF tourneys. In the IBJJF teams are allowed 2 guys per bracket I believe so some teams have wrestle-offs to see who gets to represent the team. Alot of teams already know who their top picks for brackets are.

I would think that requirements of a team would be in the training room. As far as team titles, BJJ has these.
