Swift - Isn't this ISJJA sport jiujitsu format?
Hey Swift,
It is very similar (and is based) off of the spor jujitsu format (which we like a lot). The main difference is that there can be points earned for all pins/holdowns and also, when a submission occurs, there is 5 points given, instead of the match ending.
We revised the format to make it as fair as possible for strikers AND grapplers. And since a striker can't get a victory by knocking out their opponent, we didn't think it was fair that a grappler could win by getting a submission. Plus, this format will test each contestants conditioning because they will be going the full 3 minutes for each match they have :-)
Should be a lot of fun, hope some of you can make it.
