# Ground Warrior Submission Challenge

> Competition in Salem, Oregon, United States | January 17, 2026 – January 18, 2026

## Overview

**Event Type:** Competition

**Description:** Since 2013, the Northwest Jiu Jitsu community has been starting the new year off right with this fun event. The Ground Warrior Submission Challenge is a stand-alone Jiu Jitsu tournament that follows Sub League's classic round robin format, which means more matches (no one is eliminated after losing a match). Submissions still reign supreme, but due to popular demand, Ground Warrior will be a pointed Jiu Jitsu tournament where matches are decided by submission, highest score, or referee decision. In the case of a tie within the round-robin scoring, wins by submission will carry more weight than wins by points or referee decision.

Please join us for our next event... it's the perfect way to kick off a year of great Jiu Jitsu.

**TRACK YOUR BRACKET'S DYNAMIC START TIME**

Please remember the schedule is LIVE the day of the event.
It is not unusual for times to change rapidly throughout the day. Brackets starting later in the day may shift up to 90 minutes earlier than originally scheduled. It is the competitor’s
responsibility to monitor any changes in the schedule to start times and mat
numbers for their bracket. Sub League is NOT responsible for any athlete who
misses their weigh-in or start time of their bracket. No refunds will be given
to competitors who miss their weigh-in or start time.

**BE READY ON TIME**

Competitors should be in the building and dressed to compete
**1-hour before their BRACKET’s start time (not their individual match
time)**. The Brackets and Schedule will be available by the end of the day on Thursday before the event (for Saturday's matches) and by the end of the day on Friday before the event (for Sunday's matches).

**CHECK-IN**

Every competitor will check-in at the front desk when they
arrive. Competitors who complete their registration by the free shirt cut-off date (12/23/25) are eligible to receive a
free T-shirt (available at the merchandise booth). Competitors
should stay up-to-date with the progress of their bracket start time and mat
number on their own phone and/or on the screen provided in the bullpen.

Competitors wanting to check their weight before the official
weigh-in should visit the bullpen to use the test scale. Warm up mats will be available.

**WEIGH-INS**

When your bracket is called (approximately 1-hour before your BRACKET’s start time) find your Bullpen Leader in the bullpen area to get
officially weighed in. All competitors will weigh-in wearing their full competition attire. There is ZERO (0.00) weight allowance. Competitors weighing more than the maximum weight listed for their division will be disqualified and will not be allowed to compete. Athletes competing in both Gi and No-gi will weigh-in separately for both.

**AWARDS**

After your bracket is finished, please wait for the Awards Runner to take you from the mat to the awards booth to receive your medal. Adult/Masters receive medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Youth/Teens receive medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place plus participation medals for 4th place and above.
