THE LAST SPARTAN ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT

Participants:

30 entrants compete in a dynamic “winner stays in” format.

Match Rules:

2-minute rounds decided by submission or points. Aggressive stalling penalties apply. Grappling industries legal subs based on the lower belt of the two competitors apply.

Ranking System:

Each competitor will be assigned a score using the following calculation method. Competitor  entrance will be sequenced in descending order of assigned scores.

Weight:

Competitor is assigned a starting score equal to their weight in kg.

e.g. 72 kg = 72

Belt handicap:

Belt handicap is added (coloured belts only)

	•	Blue Belt: +10

	•	Purple Belt: +20

	•	Brown Belt: +30

	•	Black Belt: +40

E.g. 72kg blue belt = 82

Age allowance:

Competitors over the age of 30 calculate their age allowance by subtracting 20 from their age. This number is subtracted from for their score.

Example:

30 years old = -10

31 years old = -11

42 years old = -22

E.g. 72kg blue belt (+10), 40 years old (-20)= 62

95kg, 37 year old (-17) purple belt (+20) = 98

Unique Dynamics:

Lower-ranked competitors have a fighting chance as higher-ranked athletes fatigue, creating an exciting and unpredictable event.

Breaks:

30-second intervals between matches for walkouts with entrance music and competitor recovery.

For every 3 matches won, an additional 30 seconds rest is awarded
