These are the rules of conduct for the tournament. Know them, follow them and you won’t have any issues. You may even have a good time!
Illegal actions/techniques
Basics:
No biting, eye gouging, striking, hair pulling, small joint manipulation, slamming, spiking, yelling/arguing with the officials, striking the groin, fishhooking, attacking opponents before or after a match.
Illegal techniques:
Inside or outside heel hooks, can openers, chin picks, twisting knee bars, grabbing and crushing the wind pipe, tweaking the nose.
For Kid’s divisions ages 4 through 12 no chokes that involve a bone-on-throat application will be permitted. (ie: Guillotines, loop chokes, gogoplatas, forearm chokes, Ezekiel chokes, etc.)
Knee bars, Toe holds, Twisters and Slicers are not allowed until Adult/Masters/Women’s Blue Belt Divisions.
Referees have the right to disqualify a competitor for any illegal actions without warning. Warnings may be given if the infraction is deemed to be accidental. Only one warning will be given per type of infraction. No more than two warnings will be given within a match. The third infraction of any kind, accidental or not will be a disqualification from the match.
If a competitor gets DQed from two matches within the same division, they will be DQed from that division. If they are belligerent to the ref, they will be DQed from the event wholesale.
Ref’s are the law, treat them with the utmost respect.
Hey I was wondering when the deadline for registration for the September 23, 2017 competition?
Hello Zenon,
The final day for entry will be Sunday the 17th before 8pm.
Can I get the rule set for kids and teens.
Please refer to the “divisions” tabs.
Are there any specific clothing requirements for under the gi? (Tee, rashguard, no shirt, spats, etc.)
Is it illegal if your outside or inside foot crosses the thigh when doing a straight ankle, like it is in ibjjf? (Reaping)
Will I get DQed if my foot crosses that line?
The action of reaping is allowed from the adult blue belt level and up.
You are allowed to cross the outside foot as far over the leg you’re attacking as you’d like, so long as the knee of their trapped leg doesn’t twist inwards.
If the knee in question does start twisting inwards, the referee will stop the match, seperate the competitors and restart it standing.
The only time a reap would cause a DQ in divisions where it is allowed is if there was a knee injury from twisting their knee inwards. That will be considered a twisting knee lock, which are illegal.
