GENERAL RULES FOR ALL DIVISIONS
We expect all competitors to act in a sportsman like fashion at all times. If you lock in a submission do not apply it instantly trying to force a tab but look at the referee to make sure he recognizes the submission and give him a chance to step in to break off the fight even if your opponent does not tab.
Anytime a competitor is in danger of injury the referee will step in to prevent any harm to the fighter but we rely on your sense of fair play in order to prevent injuries and allow the opponent to continue to compete. Please remember, that this also protects you when you are caught in a submission.
Kids (15 and under) matches are stopped immediately when one of the competitors is in a position to submit, i.e. an Armbar is fully locked in. Teen and adult competitors will be given a little more time to defend but this is 100% up to the discretion of the referee as his primary task is to prevent injury and keep all competitors safe. If you loose your fight because the referee steps in please remember that he is there to protect you from injury and that you should have not ended up in a position where your opponent can lock in a submission in the first place.
We reserve the right to create all divisions based on sex, age, skill and weight. We will create a division for females teens and adults if there are two or more in a division. Please remain in the competitor area once your divisions starts because the fights happen quickly. If your name is called and you are not responding, we will move on to the next fight. After the fight ends we will call your name again. If you are still not responding your opponent will be awarded an automatic win. Tell the score keeper if you are not available to fight temporarily or all together.
SCORING SYSTEM
—> 3 points are awarded for a win, 1 each for a tie and 0 points for a loss. A Submission or disqualification automatically determines the winner of a match.
—> At the end of the Round Robin the three fighters with the highest points are awarded the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals accordingly.
—> For a 2 fighter draw in the medal ranks, the competitor who won the match between each other is the winner. If there is no decision by the end of regulation time, the match will go into overtime with the first competitor to achieve a submission or a submission attempt that results in an advantage as scored by the referee. An advantage is defined as a submission attempt that is properly applied but from which the opponent is able to escape.
—> For a 3+ fighter draw, the matches won/lost between the tied competitors is compared and if there is still a tie, a comparison is made score between the remaining tied competitors. If the score is till tied the 2 fighter draw solution listed above will be applied.
