Scoring points

We will be using the IBJJF pointscoring system WITHOUT advantages!

After getting the takedown,sweep,pass or position(mount etc) you must hold your opponent in place for three seconds to be awarded points.

Note: Side control is not seen as a pointscoring position.

If you pass the guard finishing in side control, you get 3 points for the guard pass and no points for the position.

If you sweep your opponent landing in side control, you get 2 points for the sweep and no points for the position.

Illegal takedowns

-Slamming is not allowed! Doing so will result in an instant DQ.

-Scissor takedown (Kani baami) is not allowed! Doing so will result in an instant DQ.

-Hitting/throwing the opponent deliberately on the head is not allowed! Doing so will result in an instant DQ.

Pulling guard

Pulling guard is allowed. You have to make contact when pulling guard, meaning you cannot sit down without making contact with the other fighter. In case this happens, the referee will stand you up and give you a clear WARNING. In case you pull guard again without making contact, a PENALTY will be given, meaning 2 points will be awarded to the other fighter.

Example: Imanari roll is allowed since you engage towards your opponent and grab the ankle when you get your guard. BUT incase you fail to make contact, you have to stand up! 

Referee desicion

When the time limit of a match is reached, the referee will be choosing which fighter wins the fight based on which fighter was more active, had more control and or had more valid submission attempts. DON'T LEAVE IT IN THE JUDGE'S HANDS!

Stalling

Fighters need to stay active during the fight to try and make progress and score/submit. If at any time the referee sees that a fighter is ahead on points and not moving/trying to progress after three seconds of control, a WARNING FOR STALLING will be given to the stalling fighter. 

In case the same fighter keeps stalling, the referee will be giving a PENALTY to the stalling fighter and 2 points will be given to the other fighter. In case the referee has to give a second Penalty for stalling, the stalling fighter will be disqualified (DQ)!
