The Grappling Tournament was a single-elimination tournament held in the Hard Hit brand, created in 2008 by Kota Ibushi. In addition to normal pro-wrestling rules, the brand used a point allowance system inspired by UWFi: each wrestler or tag team received a set amount of points at the start of a match; getting knocked down, using the ropes to break a hold or using an illegal maneuver (past a first offense warning) would result in a one-point deduction. A wrestler or team losing all of their points would result in a TKO loss. In the case of a time-limit draw, the side having lost the fewer points would be declared the winner. [78] Match results included the lost points by counting downs, escapes and penalties, noted as "xDyEzP".
The first Grappling Tournament was held on May 19, 2013, at Yokohama Glory Days. It featured four participants competing in 10-minute matches with a three-point allowance. [79]
