Match LengthsMen and Women No Gi Divisions
General Rules
1) No unsportsmanlike conduct will be allowed. You may be disqualified or ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct. The referees will be shown maximum respect at all times. Their decisions are final and will not be overturned.
2) No striking, biting, eye gouging (includes chin to eye), head butting, small joint manipulation (finger or toe locks), hair pulling, grabbing the windpipe, or ear pulling will be permitted.
3) No slamming allowed. Illegal slamming will be defined as slamming your opponent to escape submissions and/or to pass the guard; or standing from the guard and/or jumping from a standing position to slam your opponent. Slamming will result in an automatic DQ. There are no exceptions to this rule. Takedowns are NOT considered slams, but you must deliver your opponent safely to the mat.
4) No infectious skin diseases (such as ringworm, staph, and MRSA) or open wounds will be permitted. No lubricants, oils, or lotions of any kind will be permitted on any part of the body or clothing.
5) Competitors will be allowed to continue grappling anywhere on the matted area, provided they don’t interfere with another match. If the competitors near the edge of the mat, they will be restarted from the same position, unless the referee is unable to duplicate the position for any reason. In case the referee is unable to duplicate the position, the competitors will restart from a standing position.
6) If a competitor flees the ring when a submission is locked in and the competitor is obviously fleeing to avoid submission, he or she will be automatically disqualified.
7) Women will not be permitted to compete in Men’s divisions. Men will not be permitted to compete in Women’s divisions. Teens (13+) may compete in Men’s or Women’s divisions with permission from their parent or coach. Men over age 30 are eligible to compete in the 30+ divisions, but may also compete in the Men’s divisions.
8) In Juvenile (ages 4-17) matches, the referee has the discretion to call a match if the referee believes that a submission will cause immediate damage or injury, especially in the beginner divisions.
Note: Ultimatum Grappling Championships reserves the right to expand or combine divisions to accommodate competitors.
Adult Weight Classes
Note: These are rough guidelines, but we will be using a "Madison Bracketing System" and grouping the competitors in weight ranges of 10-15lbs to maximize the divisions.
Men / 30+
Juvenile (ages 4-17)
- Weight Classes Brackets for competitors aged 4-17 are made using the Madison Bracketing System. There are no preset weight classes for children and teens. At the end of weigh ins, the children and teens will be sorted by weight. Brackets will then be made by grouping them into sets of 4 or 8 (depending on turnout). Juveniles will be divided by weight, experience, and age (whenever possible). Using the Madison system means children and teens will no longer cut weight since they won’t know the weight classes in advance.
- Takedown = 2 points
- Sweep = 2 points
- Pass opponent’s guard = 3 points
- Mount = 4 points
- Back Mount with Hooks in or knees on the ground = 4 points
- Knee on stomach = 2 points
Skill Levels Juvenile (ages 4-17) Skill Levels
Beginners: Up to one year of training any grappling art.
Intermediate: Up to three years of training any grappling art.
Advanced: Over three years training any grappling art.
Any Juvenile that has been awarded a blue belt (adult level) must compete in the Advanced skill level, regardless of time training.
Adult and 30+ No Gi Skill Levels
Skill levels are determined by time spent training in any comparable grappling art. Any wrestler with extensive experience (3 or more years in high school, or any collegiate experience) must enter at least intermediate no-gi. Judo, Sambo, and MMA experience count the same as BJJ.
Adult Divisions (Men and Women)
Novice: Up to 12 months (white belts only).
Beginner: 1 to 2 years (white belts only).
Intermediate: 2 – 5 years, or blue belt.
Advanced: Over 5 years, or purple belt and above.
30+ Men
Beginner: Up to 2 years (white belts only).
Intermediate: 2 – 5 years, or blue belt.
Advanced: Over 5 years, or purple belt and above.
Point System
**Note: Rules and scoring will follow the current IBJJF rules and regulations. For further clarification on them visit www.ibjjf.org/referees/rules.
Penalties: When there is a draw in the number of points and advantage points, the athlete with the least penalty points counted against him/her shall be declared the winner.
Referee Decisions: If at the end of a match both athletes have the same number of points, advantage points and penalties, it is the duty of the referee or referees (when there are three referees overseeing a match) to declare a winner. To determine the winner, the referee should take note of which athlete displayed greater offense during the match and came closest to achieving possible point- or submission-scoring positions.
Random Pick: In the event of both athletes suffering accidental injury in a semifinal or final match where the score is tied at the moment of the accident and neither athlete is able to continue in the contest, the result shall be determined by random pick.
1) To gain points for a position, the competitor must show clear control for 3 seconds (including takedowns and throws).
2) Advantages are used as a tiebreaker. The referee will score advantages in the event of a near submission or score (near takedown, near guard pass, etc).
3) No Stalling: Referee will issue warnings for the 1st offense of stalling (i.e. backing out of the guard without engaging, hugging the opponent’s hips inside the guard, backing away from the opponent out of bounds, etc). A 2nd offense will result in an advantage for the staller’s opponent. A 3rd offense will result in a 2 point deduction. A 4th offense will result in a disqualification.
4) If a competitor flees the ring to avoid a takedown and it is obvious that the competitor is going to be taken down, his or her opponent will be awarded two points.
5) There are no points for reversals. It is a person’s obligation to escape a bad position (mount, rear mount, or side control). No points are awarded for these escapes.
Judo Rules
Freestyle Judo Rules
The intended purpose of the rules for freestyle judo is to provide a safe and objective standard of criteria for the conduct of freestyle judo matches and tournaments. Judo is, among other things, a combat sport and the rules of Freestyle Judo reflect the original combat nature of Kodokan Judo. To insure objective and unbiased officiating points are assigned to a variety of skills. Every attempt has been made to provide a safe and objective atmosphere that reflects Kodokan Judo.
How To Win
- IPPON - via throw or submission
- SUPERIOR DECISION - 12 Point Spread, such as 12-0, 14-2, 17-5
- DECISION - Score more points than opponent at the end of schedule match time.
- OVERTIME - If no points are scored in scheduled match time, then a 1-minute overtime will be used for Juniors and Masters and 2 minutes for Seniors. The first contestant to score will win. If neither contestant scores an Ippon or points, then the referee and mat judges will declare the winner based on effective attacks.
- Ages 15 and older: Ippon can be scored by a throw, choke or armlock.
- Ages 11 to 14: Ippon can be scored by a throw, pin (25 seconds) or choke.
- Ages 10 and under: Ippon can be scored by a throw or pin (25 seconds).
