Submission-Only / Points Format

For every division, the first half of the match is submission-only, meaning the match may only be won by submission during this period.

At the halfway point, the match transitions to points, and all standard scoring rules go into effect for the remainder of the match.

Guard Pulling Requirement

A competitor may only pull guard after first establishing a legitimate upper-body grip or tie on their opponent. Acceptable control includes grips such as a collar tie, two-on-one, wrist control, or another clearly established controlling connection.

A competitor who sits to guard before establishing control will be penalized for passivity or lack of engagement.

Important: Grips or control below the waist alone do not satisfy this requirement. A valid upper-body controlling grip or tie must be established before pulling guard.
