RULES

How to win in regular time: The fight can only be won by submission or when the opponent receives 3 or more penalties for passivity. In the regular round, there are no points, no advantages and no negative points. If any of the competitors exceeds the limit of 3 penalties in the regular time, the overtime will not be played and the fight will be lost by the person who received more penalties or was the first to receive the third penalty in the case of a “draw”.

How to win in overtime (Starting from Back control): Submit your opponent faster than he or she can submit you. If there is no submission by end of overtime, the competitor with the fastest escape time in that match will win.
