Episode 38 is here!

boards.ie was once the old stomping ground of the Irish Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community—people posting under usernames, some knowing who was who, others just faceless trolls. The internet hasn't changed much in that regard, and neither has the tendency for people to complain about competitions.

In this episode, we take a stroll down memory lane to revisit discussions around tournaments held in Ireland during 2010, 2011, and 2012, and the opinions that came with them.

This all came about because a listener sent in a question: on one weekend in September, there are five different tournaments happening across two days in Ireland—plus one invitational in the evening.

This is going to stretch coaches, parents, athletes, and staff very thin, raising questions about who will go where. We chat about the viability of running five events on the same weekend, and whether there's anything that could be done in the future to avoid such scheduling clashes.
