# War Under the Lights - Outdoor Competition > Competition in Tucson, Arizona, United States | December 05, 2021 ## Overview **Event Type:** Competition **Description:** We will be holding this event outdoors at night on Sitton field! Don’t miss out on the experience! SAVE $40 IF YOU REGISTER GI AND NOGI. We will be using the IBJJF Rules (Please refer to their website for the latest rules) [https://ibjjf.com/rules/](https://ibjjf.com/rules/) $10 (Children under 6 is Free) The tournament is single elimination. Medals will be awarded to the 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place of each division. In the event of an athlete not having anyone else registered in their age or weight divisions we will combine divisions with the approval and consent of all fighters and every fighter competing outside of their weight class will be offered a gold medal by default. Fighters competing in a separate division due to age will not be offered a gold medal for competing; they will earn a medal based on placement. Two submission techniques common to BJJ will be shared on social media and in person at the event that, if performed during a match to force an opponent to tap out verbally or physically, will result in the fighter who performed the technique receiving $25 and a “Submission of the Night” certificate. The fighter does not have to win their respective division to receive the submission of the night award; the fighter only needs to win a match by way of either approved technique. Since names are commonly changed in the sport, examples of these techniques will be on display on our social media and on a large screen at the event. The techniques are commonly referred to under the following names: 1. BOW AND ARROW CHOKE 2. ARMBAR FROM THE BACK The referee for your individual match will have all say in whether or not your techniques performed are eligible for a submission of the night bonus. Their decision is final. Athletes can perform these techniques to earn the submission of the night bonus in gi or nogi divisions. An athlete may only win one submission of the night bonus. Athletes are not encouraged to attempt techniques they are not familiar with and are encouraged to compete with their own safety in mind. ALL WEIGH-INS BEGIN AT 5 PM WHEN COMPETITION STARTS. Every athlete will report to the weigh-in table at 5 o’clock on the day of the competition. The order of the weigh-ins will be based on belt level. There is only one opportunity to check the weight. If the competitor does not make his/her weight, they will be immediately disqualified. A 1-pound weight allowance will be in place. See more details below. Please make sure that you are in the correct weight division. You can change divisions up until the December 2nd deadline. No changes will be accepted in the tournament day, no refund. Example: -107.0 lbs (Rooster) means athletes must weigh 107.0 lbs with a maximum of 108.0 lbs. Any weight over 108 lbs will result in disqualification. Athletes competing with the gi will weigh themselves with the gi on and athletes competing in nogi will weigh-in without a gi. Competitors registered to both gi and nogi will check their weight with the gi on. Athletes have the opportunity to register in both Gi and Nogi competitions and get a $40 discount. There are no refunds for cancellation. Athletes who place in 1st, 2nd and 3rd in their division will receive a medal at the event. All competitors must wear the uniform they competed in. Gi winners must wear their gi on the podium and NoGi winners are required to wear their NoGi uniform. All the medals must be picked up at the event’s podium. Starving Students Promotions is not responsible for shipping medals. Each team can only have two athletes in the same division bracket (of age/weight/belt).
