Event rules
(Rules below are concisely stated with as much information as possible for athletes to understand each category, it is the athletes responsibility to understand these rule sets or contact RFL if there is any questions)
1
Submission only event rules
RFL Submission Only Rounds are exactly as the name suggests: they focus solely on submission techniques. In this contest, takedowns are not valued, and individuals are not required to engage in takedown aggression to secure a position to get a submission.
In the event of a tie, the win will be awarded to the aggressor. If it is impossible to determine the aggressor, a sudden death submission time of one minute will occur.
Within this time frame, whoever ends up in a top controlled position will win.
If a clear and decisive winner is not determined during this sudden death submission time, the contest will proceed to a sudden death takedown competition. The first person to throw their opponent to their belly, back, butt, or side will be declared the winner of the second sudden death competition.
If no takedown is secured, a judgment will be made on aggression/highest volume clean submission attempts.
Illegal submissions will be announced per skill set.
2
Take Down vs Submission rules.
Any takedown that brings an athlete down to their back, side, or flat on their stomach is legal. If an athlete decides to let their opponent up to avoid groundwork and achieve another takedown, they can release pressure and immediately re-attack while their opponent is getting up. In this event, the athlete doesn't have to go back to their feet or execute a takedown, and they can sit and avoid being taken down.
However, if an athlete is lifted and thrown to their back, side, or stomach, points will be awarded. The default of this contest is that an athlete who sits on the ground to avoid being thrown is playing passively and will not be able to win the event in the case of a tie. In this contest, the individual who aggressively seeks takedowns or submissions is more likely to be judged as the winner in the event of a tie.
If the athletes are not engaged, the seated position is not considered a stance of aggression or an act of aggression. It is considered a defensive position, and therefore will not be counted as actively seeking takedowns.
Join us for the RFL Take Down and Submission Only event, where athletes showcase their technical skills and strategic thinking to outsmart their opponents.

Single Beat Takedown Rule
The RFL “single beat” takedown Rule is as follows: If athlete A initiates a takedown on athlete B and successfully pulls it off, such as a direct, forward takedown, and athlete B is capable of gaining control and countering by throwing athlete A to impact or land on their back or side and then gain control by landing on top or maintaining control, it becomes a “single beat”. Both athletes will receive a takedown point in this case.
