Although there is no sign yet of Xande Ribeiro or Roger Gracie, they are virtually confirmed as "Xande" has been on hypespace training regimer and Roger has been spotted in So. California area, Orange County, and I garantee he didn't come here to go to Disneyland!

Team Saulo Won it '05; Team Gracie Barra in '06; Which Team Will Take it in '07?
Claudio Franca pioneered the team tournament in Rio in 1990, and the U.S. Open debuted the Team Challenge in 2005 for the first time, to our knowledge, here in the States. Each participating team will enter 3 black or brown belts in one open weight male black/brown division.
The winning team--the team that wins the most fights--will take home $3,000. In the event that there are more than two teams, the second place team will receive $500. Team registration will be $100. Teams may be created in any way, as long as all members are legitimate black or brown belts.
