-5 members to a team with a representative at each weight class
-under 225; 205; 185; 170; and under 155
-the teams will be bracketed as such to pit team-against-team
-order of competition for weight classes will varyround-to-round to spread the fights out
-the first team to win 3 or more fights will advance to the nextround
-the winning team will be presented with a check for 1500.00 tobe split as they see fit. We will guarantee a minimum of 1500.00 althoughprize money will most likely be raised last minute do to a large turnout
