NAGA IS BACK IN GEORGIA!
On Saturday, September 13, 2008, NAGA returns to Alpharetta, Georgia for the largest grappling tournament in the South, the NAGA Georgia Grappling Championship. This tournament is open to all grappling styles. You do not need to be a member of a team or any organization to compete. You do not have to live in Georgia to compete.
OUR BEST VENUE EVER
We have acquired one of the best venues in the South for a grappling competition, the Alpharetta High School Field House. The venue is awesome, with 3 full sets of wrestling mats for competition and additional mats for warming up. This facility has huge bathrooms and changing areas, and a 1,000 car parking lot. The gym is located just off Route 400 and is easy to get to.
WEIGH-IN ON FRIDAY OR SATURDAY NAGA will be offering all competitors the option of registering and weighing in the night BEFORE the tournament! If you cannot make it on Friday, you can weigh-in anytime on Saturday prior to your division starting.
60 CHAMPIONSHIP BELTS AWARDED All Men, Women, Children and Teen Experts take home a magnificent championship belt.
SAMURAI SWORDS TO ALL 1st PLACE WINNERSNAGA will be handing out custom engraved
SAMURAI SWORDS to ALL 1st place winners who do not win a belt! Medals will be awarded to all 2nd & 3rd place winners.
RANKED EVENT All NAGA events are part of the nationwide ranking system entitled RANKED. Our goal is to determine who the best grapplers in the country are for various age, gender and skill levels. NAGA Georgia will be nationally Ranked. Do not miss your opportunity to gain points towards a true “National Title”. Visit www.nationallyranked.com for current rankings.
SANDBAGGERS BEWARE NAGA works diligently to prevent "sandbagging", the practice of fighting down skill levels to ensure one takes home an award. At NAGA Georgia, front door personnel will use RANKED data to determine whether or not individuals who have fought in past events belong in a higher skill level (i.e. placed 1st at a prior NAGA event for that skill level). We feel very confident that sandbaggers will be forced to fight in their appropriate divisions.
