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. THROWS AND TAKE DOWNS 2 points KNEE ON THE STOMACH 2 points SWEEP & REVERSE FROM THE GUARD 2 points PASSING THE GUARD 3 points FRONT MOUNT POSITION 4 points BACK MOUNT POSITION 4 points TAP OUT END OF MATCH.
