1 Fargo Open Rules and Regulations [Modified EBI Rules] Ways a Match can be Won: Win via Submission victory within regulation time. Win in Overtime: victory by submission, fastest submission time, or fastest escape time. Win by opponent disqualification. Win via opponent forfeiture. Submission is based upon physical tapping, a verbal tap, or yelling during a submission attempt. If an opponent must have the match stopped for any injury related incident or any other reason beyond control that does not warrant any disqualifications, the opponent will have 5 mins to return to the match or they will have to forfeit the match. MATCH TIME LIMITS Adult Regulation time: 10 Min Matches at all skill levels. Teen Regulation time: 8 min matches at all skill levels Youth regulation time: 4 min matches at all skill levels. Overtime time limits: there is no time limit in overtime rounds. Time will run until an escape or submission is obtained. See Overtime rules below for more details. OVERTIME RULES: Any match whose regulation time ends without a submission immediately moves into Overtime with no break or time outs. Any competitor who cannot answer the call to immediately participate in the overtime round will be disqualified. In Overtime, competitors may choose between 2 dead zone positions described below. 1. The Arm Bar position. Each position must have arms hooked, crook of elbow to crook of elbow. The opponent defending the position may have their arms in any defense configuration they desire. 2. Back Control with Seatbelt Grip Competitors will begin in a seated back control position upright with both hooks and a seat belt grip. The opponent may have their hands in place on the seat belt grip and chin tucked before ref begins the round. Once round begins the body triangle may be applied but not before. Submission Shootout During the overtime rounds opponents are trying to submit or escape as fast as possible. Both opponents will have a chance to submit their opponent from the dead zone of their choosing. The opponent who obtains a submission wins the match, or in the case of 2 submissions the fastest submission wins the match. In the event of no Submissions, another round will ensue if again no submissions, the fastest combined escape time wins.

Pulling Guard Rules Pulling Guard (Legal Technique All Skill Levels) - You are pulling your opponent down to the ground into your guard.

Sitting disengaged to the guard is not permitted. Butt scooting is not permitted. You must attempt to take your opponent to the ground or pull them to the ground. Butt scooting will be stood back up immediately. Slamming Slamming is not permitted however the slam is respected. If an opponent is lifted into the air above the waist line for a period of 5 seconds, the competitors will be reset in a neutral standing position. [Example: Opponent A. is caught in a triangle and lifts opponent B. into the air and keeps the opponents full body above his waist line for 5 seconds the match will reset. However, if opponent B drops reaches for the leg and/or his upper body is hanging below the waist or touching the ground the match is still active.] *** Referee s discretion and decisions are final. Verbal abuse of a ref will result in competitor disqualification. Sustained verbal abuse or ANY physical abuse of a ref will result in entire Team disqualification including forfeit of any prizes/placings won to that point without refund.
