Sub League Philosophy
Our motivation behind starting the Submission Wrestling
League TM, (Sub League)
and www.subleague.com is to help promote the growth of submission
grappling,
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and western wrestling throughout the Pacific Northwest.
The idea behind the Submission LeagueTM is to develop a
competition which will showcase submission wrestling
at its best. We want to move away from point scoring and create an
environment where submissions are everything.
This format doesn’t favor the takedown specialist or
the control wrestler or the positional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
competitor. Instead, it plays to the athlete that can complete submissions
against an uncooperative opponent
in a defined amount of time. We are working to create a consistent venue for
good, healthy, and positive competition.
We compete in a pool format, where you wrestle all the
competitors in your group. This format, as opposed
to brackets, where the number of competitors are cut in half each round,
allows for more guaranteed
matches for each athlete. We also have a clear point system, where there are
no points in a match -- simply
submission or draw. This system really allows the virtues of competition to
shine.
We are hopeful that when people experienced the
Submission League TM structure, they will be pleased with
its emphasis on participation and it’s quick format. It should be a lot of
grappling for everyone.
