In the event that nobody has completed a submission in the allotted time frame, the point system comes into play to identify the winner. Point System The rules emphasizes the importance of positional dominance, awarding points for specific positions. It allows a limited time for each match, during that time, judges award points for certain techniques and positions. You can get: • 2 points for takedowns, sweeps, and getting the knee on belly position, • 3 points for passing guard, and • 4 points for mounts and back mounts. • Judges award points only if the players can keep the position for at least four seconds.

The most important things you need to note to avoid penalty are the following: • Never place four fingers inside the pants or sleeves • Avoid stalling tactics—the referee will most definitely notice,players must show continuos submission attempts, or actively working to advance their positon. If a positon is held longer than 15 seconds with no attempts to submit or advance, players will be stood up and continue. and you’ll get penalized after three warnings.**Example… If you deliberately leave (i.e. runs away from) the fight area to prevent opponent from scoring, as a penalty, your opponent will receive two points • There are also other conditions that may earn you penalties, such as restricted attacks.
