MATCH INFORMATION​

​

Rules:​

• Super fights are submission-only

• The same allowable submissions as the tournament apply; if the competitors have different ranks, we usually go by the higher-ranking belt. Make sure to clarify which ruleset you are going by so everyone is on the same page.

• Same rules as the tournament apply, except for the rules regarding points (no points or advantages will be awarded)

  • The referee may be more strict about stalling​, depending on circumstances

  • In a situation where a competitor has a locked submission on his opponent, but it is within one foot from the edge of the stage, the referee will pause the match and move both competitors to the center of the mat, and the match will be reset.

• Matches are held on an elevated stage. Please be conscious of where you and your competitor are on the stage. The referee will do his best to corral competitors away from the edges, but it is your responsibility to stay on the stage

• Anyone who purposefully and maliciously pushes, throws, kicks, etc. their opponent off the stage will automatically be DQ'ed and the match will end

• If you are competing in the gi, you will be either assigned to wear a black gi or a white gi. This helps the referee and judges differentiate between competitors.

​​

Match times:

• If the competitors have different ranks, we will go by the higher-ranking belt

• If match time runs out, the win will go to decision by three judges. There will be no ties

• Match times for both gi and no-gi:​

  • Teens - 6 minutes

  • Kids - 5 minutes

​

Compensation:​

• No cost to compete

• If your submission is chosen as the "Submission of the Night," you will receive a $100 bonus

• ​If your match is chosen as the "Fight of the Night," both competitors will receive a $100 bonus

​

Other requirements:

1. You must win your match

2. You cannot compete in another tournament, super fight, or MMA fight 7 days prior to the show (this is to limit possible injuries that could prevent you from competing in the show, since we will invest resources to advertise for your match)

3. You must make the agreed-upon weight at the mandatory weigh-ins at the venue Friday at the announced time, or on Saturday at check-in.  If you are 3 pounds over the agreed-upon weight, then your opponent has the option to cancel the match.

• Does not have to be professional quality (many people send pictures taken with their cell phones)

• If you will be competing in a gi match, please send a picture with your gi on. If you will be competing in a no-gi match, please send a picture in your no-gi attire (not shirtless)

• Please have your arms on your side or in front of you. Do not put your hands on your hips with your elbows sticking out to the sides, or your arms spread out wide, because your picture may not fit into the poster space​
