GI - Hybrid IBJJF RULES

• You may weigh-in without wearing your Gi. 
• Rash guards are permitted (and encouraged) under the Gi for all competitors (T-shirts are NOT permitted).
• Adult Purple belt rules are the same as IBJJF rules if there are only Purple Belts present in the division. If a Brown or Black Belt competitor is present in the Division, the rules will adhere to the Brown or Black Belt rules. Note: FG will separate Purple, Brown and Black belts into separate belt divisions when applicable. 
• White Belts are permitted to jump Guard only when competing against higher belt levels in a division (blue, purple, etc.)
• Kid and Teen competitors are permitted to apply Guillotines and pull the head down to complete Triangle Chokes: teens are allowed to apply standing Guillotines.
• Stalling can be called by the referee from the top Mount and when applying a Back Grab. The referee will not force competitors to unnecessarily move from these positions risking loss of the control for the dominating competitor. However, blatant and intentional stalling from these positions will be penalized by the referee.
