Draws will result in a Referee Decision. **Bracket Format:** Double Elimination. Submission Only. Draws will result in a Referee Decision, except for Finals, which will be Submission Only or 3 rounds of EBI backpack if no submission in regulation. **Match Time Limit:** 6 minutes, except for finals matches of the bracket, which will be 10 minutes. The PGF scoring system emphasizes individual skill and team strategy, rewarding athletes for submission victories: **Chokes (Kills):** 6 points **Joint Locks (Breaks):** 3 points **Fast Submission Bonus:** 1 additional point for submissions achieved in under a minute **Draws or Referee Decisions:** 0 points All submissions are legal at all levels. However, the following techniques are banned and will result in immediate disqualification: To promote an active and engaging grappling environment, the PGF enforces strict anti-stalling measures: **20-Second Shot Clock:** Athletes must initiate a "deep shot" attempt within 20 seconds, defined as an explosive maneuver (even at the risk of exposing themself) to get out of a pin and pose a real threat to the other player. Shot clock is typically called on the bottom player, even if they are completely pinned. **Excessive Avoidance Penalty:** Competitors must actively attempt to escape, advance, or submit. Passive survival tactics are insufficient. If penalized for excessive avoidance, the athlete will be placed on the bottom in the "Tabletop Position," and the match will resume. **Specific Anti-Stalling Criteria:** 1. **Engagement Avoidance:** Deliberately avoiding engagement, such as taking three or more steps backward, is prohibited. 2. **Progressive Action:** Athletes are required to actively seek positional advancement, submission attempts, or escapes, rather than maintaining a static or purely defensive posture. 3. **Continuous Combativity:** Competitors must demonstrate ongoing efforts to create and engage in offensive maneuvers. Prolonged inactivity or non-engagement is not permitted. - **Three Penalties:** If an athlete incurs three penalties and the match results in a draw, the opponent without penalties is awarded 2 points. The match will continue, but if it goes to a decision the decision will automatically go to the athlete who did not incur three penalties. - **Five Penalties:** Accumulating five penalties results in immediate disqualification, awarding the opponent 2 points. We look forward to seeing you on the mats! **Status:** Scheduled ## Dates **Start:** August 15, 2026 **End:** August 16, 2026 ## Location **Venue:** Anthony Mitchell Jiu Jitsu Studio **Location:** Madison, Mississippi, United States ## Links - Registration: https://smoothcomp.com/en/event/32351 - Source: https://smoothcomp.com/en/event/32351 - Instagram: https://instagram.com/grapplejiujitsu ## Tags Multi-Day --- **Last Updated:** May 13, 2026 **Data Source:** BJJ.Space (https://bjj.space/events/grapple-nights-4-3-000-jiu-jitsu-night)
