The Summit Submission Series is Colorado's Premier EBI Style, Double Elimination, Submission Only Grappling Tournament.
RULES
All submissions are legal. There are no points and no advantages.
No slams. If you pick your opponent up off of the mat, it is your responsibility to return them to the mat safely.
An athlete may not escape a submission by rolling out of bounds. All effort will be made to allow the match to continue without disrupting the action. Action will continue as long as there is no immediate danger to the athletes. The fence or wall does not stop the action.
"get down Rule": If after 1 minute the match hasn't hit the floor, the aggressor will be given the choice of Butterfly Double underhooks or kneeling with the opponent having Butterfly double underhooks.
Matches are 10 minutes.
The OverTime periods are 2 minutes.
If there is no submission in regulation, the match moves into OT. The OT is 1 round minimum, 3 rounds maximum.
In OT, a coin flip will determine which athlete is on offense first.
The offensive athlete can choose to attack the back starting in the rear seat-belt position, or to attack the arm starting in the spiderweb position.
If the athlete on offense scores the submission in the top of the round, their opponent can still win if they score a submission in less time, in the bottom of the round.
If there is no submission for either athlete, the match moves into the next round of OT. If at the end of three rounds there has been no submission, the winner will be decided by who has accumulated the most riding time.
An athlete has escaped when they are no longer in submission danger and their hips are free.
In the spiderweb position, this is when they have freed their arm, usually meaning they have worked their elbow to the mat. In the rear seat belt position they must free both the elbow and their hips. When in doubt just keep escaping. You are only free once you are no longer in any submission danger.
