Rules/Scoring: Whilst this competition is submission focussed, we don't like draws. So, the two judges will score for valid submission attempts, takedowns and progressive attacks.

Each final will go to an overtime round if there is no clear winner.

The only DQs are for striking or inappropriate behaviour towards the referees, volunteers or other competitors. Illegal submission attempts will be stopped and the match will be reset with the offender in a negative position.
