04 — BJJ Stars Penalty Dynamics
01
10-Second Stall Clock
Once grips lock without progression, the referee starts a 10-second clock. If no action: penalty + advantage to the opponent.
02
Three-Strike Disqualification
1st penalty = advantage to opponent. 2nd = 2 points to opponent. 3rd = automatic disqualification.
03
Double-Pull Reset
Both athletes pull guard with no stand-up in 10s: bout reset standing, advantage to both. Repeat occurrence = double DQ.
04
Dynamic Lapel Guard
Lapel guard welcome when dynamic and progressive. Pure stalling: stand-up reset — passer standing without grips, guard player seated without grips, advantage to opponent.
05
50/50 Sweep Cap
Maximum 2 sweeps per athlete (2-2). Once reached, bout reset standing with no penalty. Identified stalling = advantage to the stalling athlete's opponent.
06
Tiebreak — Last Action Wins
