We're now just two days away from the Ascension Jiu-Jitsu Championship. The EVENT SCHEDULE is up; please go through the important information for competitors and arrive at least one hour prior to the start of your division.
We will be posting the division brackets tomorrow. There are no more changes permitted to entries. Tonight is your last opportunity to check the Competitors' List to ensure that your name has been entered in the corresponding division(s) before we post the brackets tomorrow.
We hope you are as excited as we are to bring in the new year with a dynamite weekend of matches and a fresh new start for all of our competitors. You will be hearing about last year's competitors that achieved the top rankings due to their performance at OJA-sanctioned events in 2012. The Ascension Tournament will be your first opportunity to gain points towards ranking among the top athletes in Ontario for 2013. We have a great turnout this year and most divisions are budding with talent. We will be in for some memorable matches this weekend as individuals and teams rally for the championship. Once again, we thank you sincerely for believing in our event and sharing its philosophy of unity and camaraderie among competitors in the midst of fierce competition. Thank you for setting an example of how true martial artists conduct themselves on the mat and in real life; it's more than just the Gold.
Enjoy every second of your performance on the mats this weekend--fear cannot hold you down; your dedication to your training will lift you through the competition. Best of luck from my fellow Professors to you, our students. This weekend is yours.
One final request to all patrons attending the event this weekend! The Nine Mile Ascension Project is something you'll be hearing about from me again in the near future; but for the meantime, in a nutshell we are asking if you would like to donate any new or lightly used items that you are no longer using: A pair of headphones, a calculator, an inexpensive watch you hardly use, children's books or whatever you think might help to uplift someone--just knowing that someone else far away is sending good vibes to them. I've been fortunate to make strong connections over the years with a local school Principal and other community leaders within the village of Nine Mile, Jamaica (Bob Marley's birthplace). There are so many things we have in abundance here that would bring a huge smile to a child's face or help the older folks to be a little more comfortable in their day-to-day living. I really don't want to push under such short notice (as this is a new project just commencing), but this weekend gathering of ours is an opportunity I would be ashamed to miss if I didn't ask... so if you would like to help this little village (that raised an icon) with some small items that you can put together for the event, we would be entirely grateful for your generosity and spirit!
ONE LOVE, ONE HEART... OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE.

Competitors and coaches,
Please be advised that tonight at 11:59EST is the final deadline for any changes to registrations. After this time, brackets will be confirmed and posted here. If you have already registered and your name does not appear in the correct division(s) listing, please contact us immediately.
We are also aware that there are some divisions with only one competitor entered. We will be contacting you directly to advise whether we can accommodate your registration or if we will be giving you a refund. We hope that the latter is not the case, but unfortunately these scenarios are beyond our control. Nonetheless, we highly value your support and will make every effort to accommodate your registration.
Apart from releasing the official event schedule, we will also be providing you with further instructions for check-in, rule elaborations and general event procedures to ensure the weekend runs smoothly. Please stay connected here and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Don't forget to check your registration!
Thank you for supporting the ASCENSION JIU-JITSU CHAMPIONSHIP, we look forward to seeing you this weekend!!!
