-MATCHING NOW!
Coaches and potential competitors… I know you're very busy, and we value your time, so please read through this entire content. In an effort to avoid lots of back and forth email/message chains we've tried to answer all of the top level questions you might have here right off the bat.
WHAT IS THIS?
This is an informal event designed to give lesser experienced competitors ring time under pressure. There will be NO WINNERS OR LOSERS.
Matches will be 3X2MIN for experienced competitors, and 3X1:30MIN for true 0-0 competitors.
We plan to have the event refereed by a WBC/WKA certified official, to ensure safety and to give competitors an accurate look at what real reffing looks like.
These will be Muay Thai match rulesets only, with clinch and knees allowed (no knees to the head for anyone, no elbows). Mandatory sparring shins, 16oz gloves, handwraps, and headgear if one side requests it. Matches will be held in our 18FT ring.
A small semi-private warmup area will be provided for each corner (red/blue)
WHO?
Although we will favor those with smaller fight records when matching, this is for any amateur competitors of all experience looking to get competition ring time. Male or female. Adults 18+ only please (maybe juniors in the future if this goes well).
WHEN?
Sunday, October 4. We aim to have the first match start at 2PM, and be done by 7PM. Weigh ins will be day-of between 10AM and 12PM.
HOW DO WE SUBMIT NAMES?
Please have any interested competitors fill out this Google form:
https://forms.gle/jxLsaGX2MbrphcWD9
Once submitted, we will be reaching out to their coach of record to make matchup offers, ask follow up questions, etc. Please ensure they have your accurate contact information so we may deal direct with coaches.
ARE SPECTATORS ALLOWED?
Yes we will be open to spectators for $10. Since we are an active gym and not a venue set up for hosting regular events we ask that you not advertise or promote this event outside of your gym, so that we can keep the event smaller and intimate, and so that spectators directly from each gym can have priority, vs. general public.
Remember the sooner competitors submit the more likely they are to get matched. We will do our best to match as many as we can competitively and safely.
You can direct all questions to the contact info below. Please keep in mind this is essentially a third or fourth job for me, and I will get back to everyone as quickly as possible.
