The IBJJF Miami IO registration closed early again this year, leaving a few competitors out in the dark that had purchased plane tickets and hotel rooms to be in Miami for the competition. Whether or not any of those locked out competitors will be allowed into the tournament is still unknown...perhaps they will be able to open up a few spots for some of them
The tournament will take place at the Miami Dade College Kendall Campus, 11011 SW 104th Street
Miami, Florida, 33176. The event is a one day event, happening on Saturday, October 19th. The event is known for filling up, and there does not seem to be any IBJJF events in Florida. Perhaps it is time for IBJJF to consider a 2 day or hold another tournament in Florida during the year? With so many great Jiu Jitsu schools and competitors living and training in Florida, it seems like a great idea!
Below is the competitor list for the 2013 Miami International Open:
