I'm trying to get tickets to the one in Vegas in March. My teacher's fighting in it. The ticketmaster site doesn't have any info on it, though. Does anyone know where to get these?

Interesting... how is it different from ISKA? Obviously no ring/ropes, but also full contact.

It's very different. This is taken directly from the website.
WHAT ARE THE RULES?
WCL Contests feature fast paced STRIKING action with a premium placed on All Kicking skills directed at targets above the belt are allowedathletic kicking skills. There is no holding, clinching, throwing, grappling or wrestling. If a fighter tries to slow the pace of the fight down by holding, avoiding, or not fighting in an aggressive manner, the referee will call passivity against that fighter and award his opponent a point. Ideally, each round will feature two "stand-up" fighting, martial arts specialists in "full throttle" action trying to score as many points for their team as possible. Three judges score each round based on knockdowns, extent of damage inflicted and the number of clean scoring strikes landed. Each judge will award five points to the fighter they see as superior, and four or less points to their opponent. The judges' points are combined at the end of each round (15 points max. not counting penalties) and then are added to the team's total from the previous rounds. When a penalty is given, a point is awarded to the opposing team. The team with the most points at the end of the second half wins.

I like the point system. Nice way to keep fighters active the entire fight. But it still seems like a slightly tweaked full-contact rules promotion (without the 8 kick rule). I dig that kind of thing and I'm glad to see it. But I wonder if it'll take off? For some reason, americans seem underwhelmed by kickboxing.
