Jiu-Jitsu Scoring


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.

COACHING CORNER:

ATTENTION: Students will be required to compete without the benefit of Coaches/Instructors on the corner of the mat.  I also want to ask coaches and supporters of the competitors to be respectful of the people who are watching the matches from the stands. It is a problem seeing when people gather by the barrier (fence) right next to the mats. The people in the stands can not see if people close to the mat are blocking their view. So please observe the matches from the stands not the area by the fence.

 

REFEREES:

A referee should always respect fair play. He should see that all competitors display their techniques to the best of their ability. It is not enough for a referee to mechanically conduct a match. He must exert his best efforts in each match to conduct the match smoothly and professionally so that the results can be satisfactory to all parties. A referee must always do his best make a just decision and accept the full responsibility for that decision. A referee must be impartial and non-bias to all competitors, and never favoring one competitor over another.
