Pos-Luta
The ADCC World Championship field grew by eight after the South American trial in Rio de Janeiro. The trial was a winner-takes-the-spot format: only the champion of each division earned a place, according to Pos-Luta, so every bracket ended with a single qualifier.
The men's spots went to David Santos, Julio Martins, Franco Diaz, Eli Braz and Roosevelt Sousa. Among the women, Monserrat Ruiz, Ana Silva and Ingridd Alves won their brackets. Competitors came from several South American countries, which is the point of a regional trial: it gives athletes outside the invitation circle a direct route into the main event.
The qualifying calendar keeps moving. The next trial is on Saturday in Indaiatuba, in the interior of São Paulo state, where another group will try to earn a place. Trials are held on different continents, so the full field will not be known until the series finishes.
Invitations are running alongside the trials. Brazil's Fabricio Andrey accepted a place at 66 kg, adding a national name to a division that will now mix invited and qualified competitors.
Watch Saturday's result in Indaiatuba for the next names to join the field, and for further invitations as ADCC fills out the brackets.
