CJI inspired Ruleset

Matches will consist of (3) five minute rounds with 1 minute rest between rounds.

Rounds will be judged individually on a 10-point must system. Under the 10-point must scoring system, 10 points are awarded to the winner of the round. The opponent is “generally” awarded 9 points or less but a tied round is possible. A submission always leads to an immediate win of the entire match, obviously. At the conclusion of 3 rounds, if both athletes end up with the same score, for example 28-28, the athlete who won the third round will be determined the winner.

KYS 10-Point Must Scoring Criteria

10-10: No “meaningful” display of difference of dominance, aggression, positional control nor catches. This should very rarely happen

10-9: Most aggressive and/or positional control with no or an equal number of catches between athletes.

10-8: When the number of catches favor an athlete by 3-5 catches over their opponent.

10-7 : When the number of catches favor an athlete by 6 or more catches over their opponent.

Example 1: Sonnen gets 1 catch and Silva gets 4. Silva would be awarded a 10-8 in his favor.

Example 2: Cejudo puts on an absolute positional and takedown clinic on Silva but no catches take place. The score would be 10-9 in favor of Cejudo.
