    Capital Jiu-Jitsu Guidelines

    Capital Jiu-Jitsu Submission Wrestling (No Gi) Divisions:
    Adults are divided by weight with the exception of the Absolute Division which is open to all competitors, regardless of size. There will be white, blue, and purple divisions. No different age brackets. There will be three weight divisions, and the cut-off for each division will be determined after the weigh-ins to ensure competitors will be equally distributed in each bracket.

    There will also be a women’s Absolute Division (no weight brackets) if more than two women show up to compete. If only one or two women show up then they will be placed into what will become co-ed brackets.

    Kids will be divided by weight.

    Rules:
    - Kids/White Belt/Beginner = 4 Minutes = Straight ankle locks are the only foot/leg submissions allowed. No reaping the knee
    - Adult/Blue Belt/Intermediate = 5 Minutes = Straight ankle locks and knee bars are the only foot/leg submissions allowed. No reaping the knee.
    - Adult/Purple Belt & Above/Advanced = 6 Minutes = All ankle and leg submissions are allowed. Reaping the knee is allowed.

    No Gi Points:
    - Takedowns/Sweeps = 2 Points
    - – Points will be awarded for a takedown if an opponent’s back side touches the mat.
    - – If an opponent is taken down, and immediately reverses the position with a sweep or reversal, then the takedown points will not count. However, the sweep points will count. (No points will be rewarded for a reversal.)
    - – If an opponent applies a triangle choke, and ends up mounting another opponent, they will receive sweep points, but not mount points.
    - Takedowns/Throws To Dominant Position = 3 Points
    - Guard Pass = 3 Points
    - Full Mount = 4 Points
    - – A mount is established if the bottom opponent is on their back, side or on their stomach.
    - – A mount is established if the top opponent has both feet and at least one knee on the ground.
    - – An opponent may have one knee or foot over another opponent’s arm.
    - Back Mount/Back Grab (hooks in) = 4 Points
    - Three Count: A three count is used to consider that a position is established.
    - No points will be awarded for an athlete who attains a position while caught in a submission attempt. Points will only be awarded after the submission is completely defended.
    - In order to gain points for achieving the same position in a match, a new position must first be clearly established.

    Advantages:
    - An advantage will be awarded if one opponent clearly off balances another opponent, failing to achieve a throw or takedown.
    - An advantage will be awarded if one opponent sweeps another opponent, but the second opponent quickly gets back to his or her knees or feet.
    - An advantage will be awarded to an opponent for a near guard pass, where the second opponent must exert a great deal of energy to regain the guard.
    - An advantage will be awarded to one opponent for a submission attempt when another opponent must exert a great deal of energy to escape.

    Capital Muay Thai Guidelines

    Capital Muay Thai Smoker Fights:
    Competitors will be paired, and the Fight Card will be announced, one week prior to the Smoker.

    - -
When the boxers are ordered to “BREAK”, both must step back one step before continuing to fight.

    - 16oz gloves
    - Elbow Pads
    - Headgear
    - Shin Guards

    - – Second must keep ring dry.
