@dumplord51 Just to clarify for anyone reading: You don't get 2 points forever for placing your knee on someones belly over and over again :P

[Jaeckrich]

Awesome highlight. Would've been better without Braulio yapping through the beginning!! ;)

[artursowa1]

Very nice competition :)

@Saforge

4 points – mount, back grab

3 points – passing the guard

2 points – take downs, sweeps and knee on the belly

-1, -2... - penalties

1, 2, 3... – advantages

^^ thats international scoring but other tournaments use various other methods of scoring

--------points only matter if a match goes to decision and does not end in a submission

[Saforge]

Can anyone explain the scoring system of BJJ tournaments like this? Like what a reversal is worth, what a takedown is worth, etc

@goldfinger123 the only people who watch many olympic sports are those that either do them or their friends and family.Its not like soccer,basketball,baseball ,tennis where many non players follow and enjoy it.
