## Overview

**Event Type:** Competition

**Description:** Kids BJJ Round Robin – Rules Made Simple

We want every child to feel safe, confident, and excited to compete! Below is a simple version of the rules we’ll be using at the event. These are common rules used in many kids' Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. Our referees and coaches are here to help and make sure everyone has a fun and positive experience.

🕒 Match Length

Matches usually last 3 to 4 minutes, depending on age.

The referee will let you know when the match starts and ends.

🏆 How You Score Points

You can earn points by using good technique and getting into strong positions:

Takedown – 2 points

Guard pass (moving around your opponent’s legs to a strong position) – 3 points

Mount position (sitting on your opponent’s belly/chest) – 4 points

Back control (hooks in, controlling the back) – 4 points

Sweeps (reversing from bottom to top from guard) – 2 points

Points are only awarded if you hold the position for 3 seconds with control.

✋ How You Can Win

Submission: If you make your opponent tap by using a safe and allowed technique.

Points: If time runs out, whoever has the most points wins.

Referee decision: If it’s a tie and no points were scored, the referee will choose the winner based on activity and control.

All competitors will get multiple matches—even if you lose, you keep going!

⚠️ Techniques That Are NOT Allowed

Some moves are too dangerous for kids and will result in an immediate stoppage or disqualification:

❌ No neck cranks

❌ No heel hooks or twisting leg locks

❌ No slamming out of submissions or guard

❌ No scissor takedowns

❌ No striking or aggressive behavior

❌ No submissions that aren’t allowed for your age/belt group (example: no wrist locks for kids)

✅ What Is Allowed?

The allowed submissions depend on the child’s age and belt level, but some common legal techniques include:

Armbar

Triangle choke

Rear naked choke

Kimura / Americana including omaplata

Arm triangles, anaconda and d'arce chokes

Ezekiel

Gi chokes (only in gi divisions)

North south chokes

Guillotine (on the ground)

The referee will always prioritize safety. If a submission is close and the opponent isn’t tapping, the match may be stopped to prevent injury.

🤝 Be Respectful

Shake hands or bump fists before and after each match.

Always listen to the referee and coaches.

Win or lose, show good sportsmanship—cheer for each other and have fun!
