Scoring System

Proving Grounds will feature both Gi and No-Gi competition. Each bracket will operate with a full round robin format. Brackets exceeding (6) competitors may be split to make (2) or more brackets.

Proving Grounds runs in a round robin format. Competitors will face every athlete in his/her bracket. There are no points awarded within a match. Points are only awarded based on the outcome of a match: 3 points for a win (submission), 1 point for a draw (1 point goes to each competitor), and 0 for a loss. In case of a disqualification, the offended will be awarded 3 points, and the offender awarded 0 points.  At the end of the competition, the “per match average points” are tallied for each competitor. Important note: In order to be in contention for a podium placing, the competitor must compete with over 50% of the competitors in his/her bracket.
