IMPACT BJJ GI TOURNAMENT INFO E RULES:
 Length of BJJ Matches:
 White: 5 minutes / Blue and Purple: 6 minutes
 Our tournaments will follow this double elimination format.  If/when you lose a match you will be inserted into the consolation bracket to compete for 3rd place.  The competitors that continue in the winners bracket who make it to the championship round will be competing for 1st and 2nd place.
 Two (2) person divisions will compete best 2 out of 3.
If there are no other competitors registered in your division you may be placed in another division in order for you to participate.
Open weight (absolute) is free if you register at any division.
No advantages will be given.  If the match is tied at the end of regulation the referee will decide the winner based on who showed the most aggressiveness during the match.

BJJ Point System:
(All positions must be held for 3 full seconds. It is good strategy to count to five before making a transition to a new position.)
 Takedown: Opponent must land on back or butt and you must maintain top control for 3 seconds: 2 points
 Knee on Belly: Must have opponent controlled on their back with knee atleast halfway across body: 2 points
 Sweep or Reversal: Must initiate reversal from Guard and maintain TOP position for 3 seconds: 2 points
 Passing Opponent's Guard: Must have all arms and legs cleared from opponents guard/legs for 3 seconds: 3 points
Mount: Both knees and feet must be on ground with opponents leg cleared from your body for 3 seconds: 4 points
Back Control w/ Both Hooks Inside: Figure four does not count as points. Hooks in for 3 seconds: 4 points
Detailed Rules: The object of the competition is to control and submit your opponent.

BJJ Illegal Techniques:
White Belt: No Leg Locks
 EXCEPT Straight foot Lock.
No jump to put the opponent in close guard. No knee bar. No reaping of leg across body. No Neck or Cervical Cranks, Wrist Locks, Slamming or Slicers.  Important update is the prohibition of the jump to put the opponent in closed guard in the white belt division.
This alteration aims to increase the safety of athletes with little experience in Jiu-Jitsu, the jump to closed guard is still allowed in all other belt ranks.
Blue Belt: No Leg Locks EXCEPT Straight foot Lock. No knee bar. No reaping of leg across body. No Neck or Cervical Cranks, Slamming or Slicers.

Slamming: ZERO tolerance on slamming. This is to avoid slamming to escape the guard and various submissions from the guard. A competitor will be immediately disqualified NOTE - Takedowns are not considered slamming, unless intent to injure is determined by the referee.
NO Suplex takedown technique, landing with the opponent’s head or neck on the ground.
Illegal Techniques in all divisions: No strikes, biting, eye gouging (includes chin to eye), head butting, small joint manipulation (finger and toe locks), hair pulling, and ear pulling.
All male competitors are not allowed to wear clothing underneath the GI such as t-shirts, rash guard, sweatpants, etc.  also, wrestling shoes are not allowed.

VERBAL COMMAND: COMBATE (com-ba-tchee)= FIGHT!
VERBAL COMMAND: PAROU (pa-row)= STOP!

*Code of Conduct* : We will be enforcing a zero tolerance rule on disrespecting, threatening with physical violence, or verbally abusing referees or staff at any time before, during, or after the event. If any spectator, coach, or competitor threatens or abuses the referee in any shape or form, they will be escorted out of the building.
IBJJF: about flying submissions for white belts. I asked what would happen if you go for a flying triangle etc. but it doesn't lock properly and you end in closed guard. Do they continue or is it counted as a guard jump and therefore restarted from standing as the new rule says.
They replied "The restriction is about a jumping guard situation. If a move is incomplete and the competitors get to close (sic) guard, the fight will continuous with no interruption. Remember that the referee can read as a fake attack and restart the fight in standing situation."
So yes, as long as it is a legitimate attempt at a flying submission then they will not restart you if you land in closed guard. I think that clarifies the ruling well.
