MATCH LENGTHS:

All matches will consist of 2 minutes no points scoring straight into 4 minutes points

scoring. This will total in 6 minutes per match.

Only legal submissions and referee stoppages will end the match before the 6

minutes is up.

Should the score be equal at the end of the 6minute match, the competitors will be

given a 1 minute rest followed by an additional minute of competing.

The winner will then be decided via a ‘sudden death’ points scoring system,

meaning the first competitor to score points or sub their opponent during that time

will take the win.

Should there still be no score after the full 7 minutes; advantages will be used as a

tiebreaker. The referee will score advantages in the event of a near submission or

score (near takedowns, near guardpasses, etc.)

The referee’s decision is final.
