=Grappling Tournament=
The Grappling Tournament was a single-elimination tournament held in the Hard Hit brand, created in 2008 by Kota Ibushi. In addition to normal pro-wrestling rules, the brand used a point allowance system inspired by UWFi: each wrestler or tag team received a set amount of points at the start of a match; getting knocked down, using the ropes to break a hold or using an illegal maneuver (past a first offense warning) would result in a one-point deduction. A wrestler or team losing all of their points would result in a TKO loss. In the case of a time-limit draw, the side having lost the fewer points would be declared the winner.{{Cite web |title=Hard Hit Results |url=https://www.purolove.com/misc/ddt/results/hardhit.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250328094249/https://www.purolove.com/misc/ddt/results/hardhit.php |archive-date=March 28, 2025 |website=Purolove |language=de}} Match results included the lost points by counting downs, escapes and penalties, noted as "xDyEzP".
