PLEASE GO OVER OUR RULES BELOW. We run our events differently from the IBJJF and other organizations. Our rules are simple and based on our experience at keeping people safe. We’re passionate about supporting all grapplers by providing affordable events where you get more matches and a chance to improve your techniques and get experience. Our format allows you to relax, focus on the fight, and have fun!

 

Experience Level For This Tournament: 

• Beginner - 0-2 years of training

• Intermediate - 2-6 years of training

​

*Weight Classes  - Kids (lbs) 

• Because we discourage kids from cutting weight for our event, we will be grouping kids by their exact weight, age, & experience instead of setting fixed weight classes; therefore, brackets will not be finalized or posted until After weigh in's are closed. Our main goal is to safely get the competitors the most amount of quality matches as possible. If there is a competitor without anyone to safely compete against, the parent & coaches will be contacted to make a decision.

No open pockets, hard plastic, or metal allowed on any clothing. Head gear, cups, & knee/ankle supports (no metal or hard plastic) are allowed, but optional.

 

Point System: Takedown 2 – Sweep 2 – Pass Guard 3 – Mount 4 – Back Mount with hooks or triangle 4, Referee will not award points until they feel control is completely established. No “advantages,” you must score real points to win,  No “knee on belly” points.

Match Lengths: 4 minutes each

 

Tie-Breaking: Because we do not use advantages or referee decision, occasionally a match will end with a tie in points. In this case, competitors will fight in Overtime. Overtime can be won by 1st takedown only. This can be a very exciting period in the match, so remember to work on your Take Downs!

 

Other Special Rules: We will do our best to separate competitors from the same school, however in the event that competitors are from the same school, and the coach does not wish them to compete against each other, a winner must be declared & decided upon in the staging area, prior to competitors being sent to the mat. This will automatically give one student a loss for that round, which could result in elimination based on prior matches. No matches will result in a tie. Referee’s reserve the right to stop the match at any time. A decision involving a referee's judgement is not to be questioned. We want this to be fun, safe, and exciting experience for everyone!

 

Competitor Etiquette: You are being held to a higher standard as a competitor, because it is You that determines the quality & success of the tournament. You must show respect to all other competitors, coaches, teams, the referee's & tournament staff at all times. Verbal disrespect or aggressive actions towards anyone will be grounds for disqualification from the tournament & No Refund will be given.

 

Coaches Etiquette: You are allowed to coach your athlete as much as you'd like, however NO derogatory or disrespectful remarks about any other competitor, coach, team, referee, or staff member will be allowed at Any time. As a coach, it is up to you to demonstrate respect for all different teachings and styles, and your students will follow. A decision involving a referee's judgement is not to be questioned. Technical questions (points not awarded, points awarded to wrong competitor, or other scoreboard issue) can be asked politely & respectively, however the referee makes the final decision.

 

Spectator Etiquette: All spectators are welcome & encouraged to cheer on their athlete, however we wil not tolerate any booing or disrespectful remarks towards other competitors, coaches, spectators, referee's, or other tournament staff. 

​

*We reserve the right to combine or mix n match weight/experience divisions, in order to bracket effectively. It is not unusual for some competitors to get 4 or 5 matches, All for our low registration price!
