Very funny! After considering the past competition, a defensive
strategy relying on the integrity of the body guard and baiting
opponents into kicks to the torso definitely came to mind. Anyone
silly enough to kick into a guard deserves the takedown they’ll get
handed. 
So I’ll have to disagree with the 2 points for a kick. If a kick
is a poor offensive choice, then I don’t think that it should be
encouraged with extra points.
Also, if someone weighs in less than 75kg, can they also compete
in the above 75kg category?
Thank you for your feedback which gives us another perspective
to it.
The fact that there is a possibility of the kick
being grappled and the contender taken down will stop the
contender from employing kicks if there is no premium in the form
of 2 points given to the hits from kicks.
Kicks are by no means a poor offensive choice, on the contrary,
it is very good offensive and defensive technique. But it cannot be
employed by people who does not possess the knowledge of executing
it correctly... Remember, we do not want this tournament to be just
like another boxing tournament but a truly new way of sparring
competition that is very exciting visually...
As for now, the weight category is tentative. The reason we put
it in such a way is because we do not want to see a 55 kg contender
to fight a 110 kg contender but this is open for discussion and we
will take a vote at the seminar whether to carry on with this or
otherwise... Most of the rules and regulations will be discussed
during the seminar and a show of hands will be the deciding factor
whether the r & r will be implemented or not....
The weight category is also not easy to carry out and we will
get a better picture after we get all the participants signing up
for the competition...
