The rules and initial matchups for the December 17 Copa Pódio in Porto Alegre have been released. Part of the novelty of the event is that fans will be given a table to fill out over the course of the contest.

The 20 fights in the first stage will last 20 minutes, while the duration for the opening match, semifinals and finals will be 10 minutes, with a special rule: no points will be counted during the first five minutes.

For next year, the organization is putting together a middleweight GP. Athletes Guto Campos (Guetho) and Augusto Tio Chico (Renzo Gracie), who are in the event opener, have already guaranteed a place as seeds, according to event organizer, Jeferson Maycá.
