We will be having a team competition at the end of our December E.F.G. finals.  Below is the information regarding the Team Competition.

If you are interested in joining the team, you MUST be a legal citizen of that particular country (Example: You must be a U.S. citizen to participate on Team U.S.A.).

The team competition is free, however, you MUST register to compete in at least one division at the finals (Example: Gi, No-Gi, or Both). 

Anyone interested in competing on EITHER team must have their registration submitted and paid for by Saturday November 7th.....NO EXCEPTIONS!  There are several things that we must prepare for in order to make this country vs. country event a success, therefore, we need to allow enough time to do so.  After you register and pay for your event, simply send us an e-mail at senseizeke1@yahoo.com and tell us that you are interested in competing on the team.  THAT'S IT!  It's that simple!!!

There will be two teams....a youth/teen team, and an adult team.  Both teams will consist of 9 competitors, one representing each weight class.  Here are the weigh classes:

Men:  150-159, 160-169, 170-179, 180-189, 190-199, 200-224, 225 & up, Women:  135 & under, 135 & over

We will select a total of 18 competitors for each team (2 people for each weight class), one primary competitor, and the other person will be an alternate (in case the primary competitor gets injuried or becomes ill in their earlier division(s).  Sign up today so that you can ensure your spot on the team!  Slots come on a first come, first serve basis!  Note:  There will be absolutely NO REFUNDS once you have registered for the tournament for ANY reasons! 

All team competitors (primary competitors and alternates) will receive free Team T-Shirts (Team U.S.A. or Team Canada T-Shirts)!!! 

Awards:  We will be giving out BEAUTIFUL engraved world championship cups to the teams!!!

The team competition will be ran as follows:

The youth teams and the adult teams will be split up.  Another words, they are totally independant from one another.  Youth versus youth, and adult versus adult.  Each competitor MUST go against the person who is in their exact same weight class....NO EXCEPTIONS!  The team that has the most wins will be the champions (Example:  Whichever team gets 5 wins first will be declared the championship team)!  Standard E.F.G. rules will apply during the team competition.  Each match will be 5 minutes in length for adults, and 3 minutes for youth/teen. 

Register today for this monumental event!  This has never been done before...so don't miss out!!!
