Valhalla Ruleset
This Is how Odin would like it.
1. Takedowns receive double points ✌️✌️.
2. Guard puling or sitting to guard receives minus 2 points
You can pull guard if you want, but you need more than a sweep to win and avoiding a takedown is not an advantage.
3. Illegal takedowns or positions – jumping to closed guard, scissor takedowns, slamming. Remember we are just playing weekend sport and the hospital is an hour away. 🤕
6. Good sportsmanship, fair play and respect for judges decision are qualifying rules.
7. The matches will otherwise follow general IBJJF rules.
8. Matches are 5 mins.
9. In the event of a draw it will be golden score from standing.
Competition matches and Challenge matches.
We will have regular competition matches both in Gi and No Gi plus one mat will be reserved for challenge or practice matches.
Challenge or practice matches can be set up by friends or frienemies regardless of weight, gender or age. Just register your wish to challenge and if your opponent agrees, we will set up the match. A bracket can be made if more than two wish to compete together.
One competitor ticket is all you need for multiple matches. Entry = you must have an entry ticket for the day or an entry ticket in one of the other competitions on that day
If on the day your opponent dose not show or you don’t make weight for the main competition you may also register for the challenge matches. If you have finished your matches but are still keen for more just sign on. We will keep this running so that everyone gets a rumble if they want to. Time to take the challenge and get on the competition mats. 💪✌️
