Technical points attributed to actions and positions In the fight on the ground the dominant positions are those that earn points, there are four positions of this kind: knee on the stomach, side mount, full mount and back mount. The non-dominant positions are those that do not earn points (eg. guard, half-guard, Greek, etc.). To get the points the dominant position must be maintained for at least 3 seconds.To stimulate the attempt to achieve submission the points for the dominant positions follow a progression system in which the dominant positions must be improved to earn points. The progression in the dominant positions that gives the points is the following: knee on the stomach> side mount> full mount> back mount.The athlete after having earned the points for a dominant position cannot earn the points for the same dominant position or for another inferior dominant position in the progression system, if he does not first reset the count of the dominant positions. The counting of the dominant position is reset when the athlete loses the dominant position and the other athlete positions himself for at least 3 seconds in any type of guard or in a neutral combat position.
SCORING
Overturning earns 2 points. The overturning must be carried out as an attack technique, it has no value if carried out from under the mount or side or in any case to recover the phase of domination. To be effective the overturning must be stabilized for 3 «. If after a reversal a domination position is assumed and maintained for 3 «the points will be given. If the reversal starts from the position of disadvantage (side, knee on the stomach, mount, back mount) and leads to a position of domination the points will be given not for the reversal technique itself but for the position which was achieved as a result of this technique, in this case also if it is kept for at least three seconds. Projection (takedown): 1 to 3 points.Detachment of a foot – 1 point, detachment and partial reposition — 2 points, complete detachment and / or technique correctly performed — 3 points.Lateral control, side guard and north / south (in all three variants) — 3 points. It is not valid if the arm of the person above is in the middle of the opponent’s legs. Knee on the stomach — 3 pointsMount, rear with closed hooks or triangle – 4 points N.B the dominant position must be changed after a maximum of 20 «otherwise the wrestler who is performing it will suffer a penalty point. Front mount: 4 points All positions must be held correctly for at least 3 seconds. The chain of positions is added to the score only if the positions rise as a progressive value. Example: knee on stomach 3, side 3 (also in reverse order) mount 4. Total 10 points. If you return from the mount to the side, the three points are not added. If however there is an interruption of the action by the opponent and the fighter in the dominant position resumes his/her position the points will be added up. NB: the position has value if three quarters of the back are on the ground. A single raised shoulder will not be enough to cancel the position points. In self-falling projections, the positive outcome of the projector must be linear, otherwise no points will be awarded for knockdowns.
