There will be an open division and women’s division as well. The women’s division will use the Madison System and will have no weight divisions, with competitors matched closest to their weights.
The tournament will not have any points scored, as matches are based on win, lose, or draw format. There are no divisions by experience level in order to stop sandbagging. All kinds of submissions are allowed, except groin attacks, fish hooking, spitting, biting, hair grabbing, intentional striking, and kicking.
The winner of the open weight division will also take home the "Frank Gotch Memorial Award" as well as winning the title "East Coast King of Catch". All winners will gain an automatic invitation to compete in next year’s national tournament.
