Grappling Tournament

[edit]

The Grappling Tournament was a single-elimination tournament held in the Hard Hit brand, created in 2008 by Kota Ibushi. In addition to normal pro-wrestling rules, the brand used a point allowance system inspired by UWFi: each wrestler or tag team received a set amount of points at the start of a match; getting knocked down, using the ropes to break a hold or using an illegal maneuver (past a first offense warning) would result in a one-point deduction. A wrestler or team losing all of their points would result in a TKO loss. In the case of a time-limit draw, the side having lost the fewer points would be declared the winner.[78] Match results included the lost points by counting downs, escapes and penalties, noted as "xDyEzP".

2013

[edit]

The first Grappling Tournament was held on May 19, 2013, at Yokohama Glory Days. It featured four participants competing in 10-minute matches with a three-point allowance.[79]
