The 145 matches produced a 45% submission rate, falling 3 points below New Breed's 48% organizational average and indicating a tournament favoring technical decisions over finishes. The youth white LIGHTWEIGHT (56-65 LBS.) gi division emerged as the deepest bracket with 7 placements, while 50 divisions across 21 academies created a competitive landscape that separated elite programs from mid-tier competitors. The submission data suggests competitors at this event relied more heavily on point accumulation than submission threats.
Essential Jiu Jitsu | ATOS achieved a perfect 4-0 gold-medal record despite smaller participation than Kozma BJJ, demonstrating conversion efficiency in limited entries. Velez Jiu Jitsu placed second overall with 11 medals (6 gold, 4 silver, 1 bronze), while White Tiger Martial Arts rounded the top three with 5 total medals. Rolles Gracie Academy - NJ and Team Carvalho | TEAM CARVALHO each contributed significant medal counts (3 and 7 respectively), indicating strong depth across the New Jersey grappling ecosystem.
