Simplifed Point System

The simplified 1 point/1 advantage point system removes many of the ambiguities of more complex scoring systems. Contestants are rewarded for position motivated takedowns, sweeps, and reversals, achieving, advancing in, and maintaining position, as well as consistent and effective attempts at submissions while in a dominant position or while maintaining an active attacking guard.

Point Designation & Award

Least Dominant

Side Control - any position where the legs of the attacker does not break the plane of the defender’s body (ie. standard side control, scarf hold, etc.) & North/South Position
Knee on Belly – Any position where one leg breaks the plane of the defender’s body in a controlling manner but does not cross to the other side of the body of the defender.
Full Mount – Any position where one leg of the attacker breaks the plain of the defender’s body and passes to the other side of the body with the attacker’s body mostly centered on top of the defender (low, high, S-mount, Fatman, etc.)
Back – Hooks or body triangle must be secured

Most Dominant

- A point will be awarded to competitors that transition from a less dominant position to a more dominant position.

- Points will not be awarded to the competitor in a dominant position if during a scramble due to a successful escape attempt the competitor in the dominant position ends up in a less dominant position. The competitor previously in the dominant position will gain a point if he/she regains a different or the same dominant position after a successful defender initiated escape.

- Points will not be awarded if competitor transitions to a less dominant position without being accompanied by a submission attempt and then regaining the same dominant position.

1 Advantage Point (1 point will be awarded at the end of the match for every 3 Advantage Points)

Attempted Takedown or Throw where opponent must defend or be taken down

Attempted submission where opponent must defend or be submitted

Tie Breaker

If both contestants end up with equal scores after AP points are awarded, the raw score will determine the winner.

Examples:

The match is 3/0 – 2/3 = 3/0 – 3/0 The winner will be the participant with the raw score of 3/0.

The match is 3/0 – 2/4 = 3/0 – 3/1 The winner will be the participant with the raw score of 2/4 because there is no tie after AP points are awarded.

If the raw scores are equal (ie. 3/5 – 3/5 = 4/2 – 4/2) a two minute overtime will determine the winner. The score will be reset to 0/0 – 0/0.

If a tie results at the conclusion of the 2 minute overtime, the Referee will determine the winner based on aggressiveness, submission attempts, and position during the overtime portion of the match only.

Penalties

Warnings: Warnings will be issued with no point penalty for infractions such as illegal grips, illegal position that is corrected immediately (ie. inadvertent reaping of knee), or stalling/inactivity.

Stalling: Occurs when a competitor purposely delays progression of the match by maintaining a position for an extended period of time without any attempt of improving position or submission attempts. Failure to engage, purposely avoiding, or disengaging from an opponent for no reason qualifies as stalling.

Point Penalties: Points will awarded to the participant the foul was committed against. Either Advantage Points or Full Points can be awarded at the discretion of the referee based upon the degree of the infraction. Points are awarded for the offender not correcting or repeating actions that resulted in a warning or blatant violation of rules that is eventually corrected.

Disqualification: A competitor can be disqualified at the discretion of the Referee for unsportsmanlike conduct, flagrant violation of the rules that could result in participant injury, continued violation of rules, conduct of coaches, or any other disruptive or inappropriate conduct.

The Referee: Referee decisions are final.

Scoring Scenario

Grappler X and Grappler Y begin their match (Score 0P/0A to 0P/0A).
X attempts a takedown where Y falls and immediately stands back up in defense (1 AP) (0/1 – 0/0).
Y successfully jumps guard and X is now in Y’s guard (0/1 – 0/0).
Y attempts an arm bar (1 AP) and triangle (1 AP) combination where X must defend both to avoid being submitted (0/1 – 0/2).
Y attempts another arm bar but does not have proper placement or leverage to submit (0 AP) (0/1 – 0/2).
X successfully executes a double under guard pass (0 points) and establishes side control for 3 seconds (1 point) (1/1 – 0/2).
X attempts a paintbrush submission where Y must defend (1 AP) (1/2 – 0/2).
X secures knee on belly position for 3 seconds (1 point) and attempts a collar choke where Y must defend to avoid being submitted (1 AP). (2/3 – 0/2)
Y reverses X (0 points) where X ends up with half guard (2/3 – 0/2)
Y performs a knee cut pass (0 points) and establishes low mount (1 point) (2/3 – 1/2)
Y establishes high mount (0 points) (2/3 – 1/2)

Y transitions to X’s back (0 point) and gets hooks in (1 point) (2/3 – 2/4)
Y attempts a rear choke where X must defend (1 AP) (2/3 – 2/5)
Time ends on the match. The final raw score is (2/3 – 2/5) resulting in a final score of (3/0 – 3/2) where one point is awarded for every three advantage points earned. Y wins the match.
