Modified EBI Rules!

– If there is no submission after the regulation time limit, each competitor will have the chance to try to submit their opponent as fast as they can (Modified EBI Rules), while the other has a chance to escape. There will be a coin toss to determine which competitor will choose if they are starting on offense or defense.

– 1 round minimum, 3 rounds maximum

– Each round will be 2 minutes, however the 3rd and final round will be until submission.

– The competitor on offense gets to choose if they want to start in back control, armbar or Irimi ashi garami. Offense options:

• Back control with a seatbelt grip (grip must be in the middle of the opponent’s chest). The defensive competitor may only secure theirgrips in a “pull up” fashion on the offensive competitor’s arms, but cannot put their hands inside the offensive competitor’s grips. Competitor on defense must sit up and may not lean forward or sideways until the referee officially starts the round.

• Armbar with one arm fully threaded in and holding the armbar, and the other hand on the mat. Competitors must be lined up perpendicularly with the competitor on defense flat on their back with their feet planted flat on the floor. The defensive competitor can only choose a figure four (aka “rear naked choke grip”) defense, or a gable grip (aka “palm to palm grip”). No other grips allowed at the start of the round.

• Irimi ashi garami with a fully locked in leg position, on the outside hip. One hand must be posted onto the mat and the other with false grip knee control. The defensive competitor will have a false grip on the inside elbow of the arm gripping the knee. Their other hand must be posted onto the mat. The offensive compeitors aim is to finish a straight achilles lock for white belt. If blue belt or higher, any leg lock submission is permitted on the primary leg. The defensive competitors aim is to clear their leg to safety.

– If there is a submission in the top of the round, the competitor who was submitted needs to secure a submission faster than they were submitted.

– If there is a submission in the bottom of the round, the competitor who achieved the submission wins the match (since the other competitor was unable to submit their opponent in the top of the round).

– Remember: Keep escaping until the referee has made it clear that an escape has been achieved.
