Back in 2009 we started a pointing system for Men No-Gi divisions. The purpose is to reward competitors who reach 5000 points with an opportunity to compete for cash and prizes. Currently 24 competitors have reached the 5000 point mark with dozens more closing in. The 5000 point achievers are listed here on the results page.
Debuting later in 2015 any registered competitor from that list who competes in Men's Advanced NoGi, Purple or Brown/Black belt will automatically be entered in a No-Gi Elite division with cash and prizes going to the placers. Additionally those competitors will earn higher team points towards the annual Team Challenge.
