In order to receive the points the competitor must have control of your opponent for 3 seconds. Once you have the opponent controlled you will receive points. It is very important that the competitors keep an eye on the score board and the time so that the competitors can keep track of the fight.
Sudden Death overtime is 2 minutes for White, Blue, and Purple Belts, and 3 minutes for Brown and Black Belts.
During the Sudden Death overtime, the fighter to score the FIRST POINT of any type is declared the immediate winner and the match is over. If no score is made by either fighter during the Sudden Death Overtime, then the referee will then determine and declare the winner of the match.

COACHING CORNER:
ATTENTION: A Coach MUST submit an “Individual Coach Registration Form” to receive a coaching pass. We WILL NOT have registration after April 21st or during the tournament!
Only Coach’s will be allowed in the coaching corner and they must show a coaching pass to access this area.
A chair will be placed on two corners of the mat for coaches – one for each competitor’s coach. The coach must remain seated, and moving the chair from its predetermined location is NOT allowed. Coaches must obey the referee’s commands at all times. Failure to follow these rules may result in PENALTY of the COMPETITOR being coached!
Just to remind everyone, 3 penalties will result in disqualification. Any complaints regarding referees should be directed to the “Chief Referee” AFTER THE MATCH.
The following activities from a coach may result in a penalty:
* Arguing with the referee.
* Failure to remain seated in chair at all times.
* Moving of Coach’s chair.
* Unsportsmanlike-like conduct by coaches may result in competitor disqualification.
REFEREES:
A referee should always respect fair play. He should see that all competitors display their techniques to the best of their ability. It is not enough for a referee to mechanically conduct a match. He must exert his best efforts in each match to conduct the match smoothly and professionally so that the results can be satisfactory to all parties. A referee must always do his best make a just decision and accept the full responsibility for that decision. A referee must be impartial and non-bias to all competitors, and never favoring one competitor over another.
