In regular time
One of the fighters submits verbally or through double tap on his opponent, himself or the mat. Loud expression of pain is recognized as a verbal submission.
Overtime:
Procedure:
The referee tosses a coin. The winning fighter chooses to start from „backmount“ or „spiderweb“ and takes the dominant position.
The referee starts the fight and a timer. The time will be stopped either if there is a submission or when the fighter in the non-dominant position has escaped.
The fighters switch position and the fight is restarted. If the submitting fighter started from the non-dominant position, the fight ends immediately.
Scenarios
There was exactly one submission: The dominating fighter wins.
There were two submissions: The fighter who was able to dominate the fastest wins the fight.
There was no submission: There will be another round.
There were three rounds but no submissions: All escape times will be added and the fighter who took the least amount of time to escape wins.
