Referee’s call stands
Good sportsmanship is expected.
Ways To Win (standard bracket no-gi):
• Via tap out either physically or verbally or the opponent cannot continue
• Via points
• Via advantages if the score is tied
• Via disqualification
• Via referee’s decision after overtime
Disqualification:
A competitor may be disqualified for any of the illegal techniques listed above if deemed intentional. In a case where a competitor cannot continue due to an illegal technique applied, the offending grappler will be disqualified.
Stalling:
Stalling is called by the referee anytime a competitor is deemed to be passive by avoiding action or backing out of bounds. The referee will give one official warning for the first offense, followed by 1 point deduction for the second offense, 2 point deduction for the third offense, and disqualification on the fourth offense.
Note: Controlling an opponent in an established grappling position e.g. mount, side control, knee on belly, etc. is NOT stalling, it’s grappling.
Restarts will be in the same position in the middle of the mat.
Fleeing submission by running out of bounds will result in a 2 point deduction for first offense. The competitors will be restarted in the center of the mat in the same position/submission. Fleeing a submission out of bounds a second time will result in disqualification.
Overtime:
If the score including advantages is tied at the end of the round, the match will go into overtime. Overtime will be limited to a 3 minute round (scored like a normal round, starting from the standing position). At the end of overtime if the score is still tied there will be a sudden victory round where the first competitor to score will win the match.
*If a match needs overtime or sudden victory rounds there will be a 90 second rest between each round.
Hygiene:
At weigh-ins all competitors will be checked for communicable diseases, not limited to but including ringworm and bacterial
infections. Fingernails and toenails should be neatly trimmed. No part of the body should have any sticky or oily substance.
Competitors Attire:
Well-fitting t-shirts or rash guard, Board shorts (no pockets), Gi pants. In No-Gi, competitors may not grab or hold onto opponents clothing.
Competitors are not allowed to wear a rashguard under a t shirt as this lends an unfair advantage and adds to elusiveness. Be cool, this is not a tense, uber-competitive tourney. We are honoring one of our fallen brothers and our jobs are tough enough as it is so the #1 rule is: Be Humble, it’s not that serious I promise.
SPORTSMANSHIP
Players, coaches, managers or other team members will not make disparaging or insulting remarks to or about opposing players, officials or spectators; or commit other acts that could be considered unsportsmanlike conduct. This includes behavior on and off the field at the venue site. The penalty for violations by a player is, at minimum, prompt ejection of the offender from the game. The offender must leave the field or spectator area immediately. If the offender refuses to leave, his/her team will forfeit that game. Penalties may also include suspension from following games. If a player is ejected from the last game of the tournament, the player may be suspended from future games in the following years. Severe offenses may result in being suspended temporarily or permanently from future Nevada Police and Fire Games.
