[@HadesOnHP]

i have a tournament on feb 20 first point tournament thanks for the help

[@gbsainteanne]

Awesome!!

[@gregorychristinaz806]

Thx for the vidéo. Greetings from Gracie Barra, Fribourg, Switzerland

[@jkoeberli]

what about side control/kesa/north south? aren't those 3 pts too?

[@AF-hv9em]

What if you get takedown throw and end up in side control is that 5 points? 2 for take down and 3 because you passed guard ???

[@gbsainteanne]

Only 2 pts but great start ;)

[@juanteodoroparedes]

Are this scoring rules the same for toddler tournaments as well (3 - 6 years old)?

[@gbsainteanne]

Yes. The main difference would be on the list of submissions allowed. For example, they can’t do a guillotine, wrist locks or leg attacks, etc.

[@damnson6556]

i competed with points and it just seems silly to me. why doesn’t everyone do sub only like ebi

[@gbsainteanne]

That's what I explained in the video. It's hard to encourage people to take risks if there is no immediate reward. When you attempt a technique, especially a sub, you need to take some risks along the way. But I agree that it's kinda cool to have different formats of events so people can choose ;)

[@jitsroller9206]

Would a hip bump sweep landing you in mount be 2 points ? Or 6 ? Also would a butterfly sweep count for 2 if once I come up I wasn’t really past his gaurd but I did stand up he was on his back I was past his hips and grabbed his head and held control for 3 I just didn’t mount or get a side control

[@gbsainteanne]

Yes, 1st question is 6 and 2 for the butterfly sweep.

[@shanemeely5959]

Are advantages and penalties only there in the event of a tie?

[@gbsainteanne]

nope, they can happen regardless of that. In short, advantages are given when the technique was executed but could not consolidate the execution for over 3 seconds or forces the opponent to defend it. Penalties are given mostly for stalling.

[@adamlewisdrums5607]

Ok here’s one. No stripe white belt here; in my fundamentals class we always end with situational sparring from whatever position we’ve been working on that day, submission or scored points end the roll and we reset. Working with blue belt today, we ended up in a weird position with her sat on my knees facing my feet. I was sat up and able to reverse the position easily if I used a bit of strength, which I try not to do rolling with women. She claimed this position earned her points, I disagreed and demonstrated my capacity to reverse it which really pissed her off. I conceded, she turned her back obviously not wanting to fist bump so I said ‘cool’, softly slapped her back as I do with everyone as a sign of friendship and moved on. She really didn’t want to shake my hand at the end of class so I’m hoping this won’t become an issue… My question is - who’s right?

[@guidowack3609]

Damn bro she rude asf

[@juliushoward9606]

She has to maintain a top position suvh as side control or knee on belly to score

[@hoodprep09]

Yeh thats wierd energy for someone at your gym.

[@admiralsuperior3]

If I get 4 points for mount and then I move to the back do I get 4 points again

[@gbsainteanne]

Yes. And we recommend you to check the rule book of IBJJF to understand better these details. Actually, they are releasing some very good videos to illustrate better these type of question. Follow them on Instagram @ibjjf

[@AleksHnidkins]

I have been a Gracie bara member for 4 years

[@davitmanasyan2010]

do these rules apply to no gi?

[@gbsainteanne]

It depends, but there are many tournaments where these rules apply.

[@adamadamiec7485]

❤jujitsu is the best ❤

[@falkhammermuller9342]

1:25 .. incorrect, there are 4 ways. You can also lock up a submission and the match then rolls out of bounds and the referee stops the match. The player having the submission locked in, gets 2 points and the match resumes in a standing position. 2:20 .. also incorrect, there are 3 positions that reward 4 points. Mount, rear mount and back control. Yes, there are two positions from the back.

Would you like to try that out?

He baited you meatheads to tough talk in the KZbin comments.

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

Point Tournaments are horrible, 95% of people will score half a point (advantage) or one or two points over ya, and then hold you to death just so they "win". Hilarious. Did two tournament, never again. I was the only one getting Submittions. First Tournament had 4 matches and 2 Submittions, second turnament had 7 matches, and 4 Submittions. Everyone else looked to score and hold other people down, like thay had a knife, lol 🤣. NoGi is better, noone could hold you down like that, like not even my mother held me like that and hugged me. If you are planning to do point scored turnament especially in Gi, be prepared for mofos to hold you down till they die.🤣 And then put a picture on their Facebooks posing like they have decapitated 14 people and got a medal for it, where in fact they had couple of 7min hold down matches 🤣😂🤣 You ll have their coaches even tell at them say, dont you Fu*king move from that possison. Lol

[@gbsainteanne]

Indeed it’s far from perfect! But what do you see that works better ?

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

@@gbsainteanne score reversals as 4 points. So that guy on the bottom if he reverses the position and it's on top now, give him 4 points. That's o scored at all. Also people holding same position for more then 30 seconds get 1point taken away. They have to progress into different position for 3 seconds or lose the point that they just scored. That's if you want to keep the point system. But I think sub only is best.

[@gbsainteanne]

@@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA man in that case I would prefer sub only too. Poor refs to keep up with so many reversal points and rules 😂😂

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

@@gbsainteanne hahahaha :), well they already have too many, adding 2 more scorrings won't get them too much more work

[@danijeldragicevic5688]

True brother, I went and expected to do some good grappling, managed to get a sub but second match guy did nothing and fucked me with points that I didn't really understand even tho I think my style was more estethically pleasing and had more opportunities
