SCORING SYSTEM:

In order to receive the points the competitor must have control of your opponent for 3 seconds. Once you have the opponent controlled you will receive points. It is very important that the competitors keep an eye on the score board and the time so that the competitors can keep track of the fight.

Sudden Death overtime is 2 minutes for White, Blue, and Purple Belts, and 3 minutes for Brown and Black Belts.
During the Sudden Death overtime, the fighter to score the FIRST POINT of any type is declared the immediate winner and the match is over. If no score is made by either fighter during the Sudden Death Overtime, then the referee will then determine and declare the winner of the match.

• THROWS AND TAKEDOWNS ---------------------- 2 points
• KNEE ON THE STOMACH -------------------------- 2 points
• SWEEP & REVERSE FROM THE GUARD ----------- 2 points
• PASSING THE GUARD ----------------------------- 3 points
• FRONT MOUNT POSITION ------------------------- 4 points
• BACK MOUNT POSITION -------------------------- 4 points
• TAP-OUT – END OF MATCH. The competitor is declared the immediate winner.
• ** SUDDEN DEATH applies if score is tied at the end of match (see above for Sudden Death definition)

** This rule applies to all junior and adult male and female divisions, and belt ranks in the tournament.

MATCH QUEUING CARD SYSTEM:

After you pass the check-in table you will receive a Match Queuing Card with your name, mat number, and match number for your first fight. If you are the winner of your match the scoring table will issue you another card with NEW information for your next match. Keep your card with you at all times as you will not be allowed in the competition area without it.
