you sure it's going to be as big as you think? I competed a long time ago in a U.S. Sport Jujitsu "National" competition, but we only managed to fill up a middle school gym Maybe it was just the organization, maybe that's just how it is, I don't know

There were so many bouts going on at the same time that you won't feel nervous (like you're in the spotlight) at all. Most were watching the full contact ring where the higher belts went at it.

are these just like freestyle grappling competitions where people from all different styles come and fight?

^yea freestyle, no gi tournaments, but of course you have the option of wearing a partial or full gi

^^i think there will be 200+ competitors, but they are all divided up betweeen kids, teens, and adults plus like various weigh classes and beginner, intermediate, and advanced brackets so I dont know what the size of my competitive field will be
