RULES OVERVIEW Submission Only No-Points or Time-Limits Each match will continue until one competitor submits (or is disqualified) 8-man double elimination brackets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NO SLAMMING from guard (slamming from guard means picking up your opponent off his back and slamming him back to the ground, if a player jumps guard his opponent may throw him to the ground). Throwing is not considered slamming. NO INTENTIONALLY THROWING an opponent on the HEAD, NECK OR FACE. Every effort must be made to plant the opponent on his side, back, front or legs. Deliberately trying to throw an opponent on their head may result in disqualification. NO HEEL HOOKS or other locks intended to secure and twist the knee will be allowed. SUBMISSION: All holds must be applied as to induce submission, not to break the joint, or otherwise cause lasting injury. That said it is the competitors responsibility to tap before damage occurs. NO SMALL JOINT MANIPULATION (meaning finger and toe locks etc.). No grabbing individual fingers, all four fingers must be grabbed to peal. Pealing the thumb is okay, but not twisting it or grabbing and holding it.

OUT OF BOUNDS: try to stay away from the edges or other players. If the players accidentally go out of bounds or move to close to another player, they will return them to the center of the mat in a position as close as possible to their exiting position. If their exiting position was ambiguous, they will be returned to standing. ATTEMPTING TO INJURE: A player who appears, in the opinion of the referee, to be attempting to injure his opponent will be warned or disqualified, according to the severity of the infraction. Un-sportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. SPORTSMANSHIP: This is a friendly competition; each contestant is expected to treat all other contestants in a respectful manner.
