The stacked KASAI 135lb tournament goes down on August 17 and we finally know how the 4-man round-robin groups will look!
Group A
- Ashley Williams
- Joao Miyao
- Rafael "Barata" Freitas
- Richard Alarcon
Group B
- Jon Calestine
- Geo Martinez
- Masakazu Imanari
- Edwin Junny Ocasio
As a reminder of what to expect, KASAI Pro tournament matches are 6 minutes long and use points. The eight competitors are split into two groups of four. Using a round-robin format, they go against every other opponent in their group and earn points based on the result of the match.
Group Scoring
- Win by submission = 3 points
- Win by points = 2 points
- Draw = 1 point
- Loss = 0 points
They are placed into a leaderboard and the highest-placed competitor goes through into the final to face off with his counterpart in the other group. The second-highest grapplers will compete for third place.
In the event of a draw in the final and third place matches there is a two-minute sudden death overtime period (golden score). The judges will render a decision if the score is still tied after overtime.
