We allow many more submissions than almost any other tournament due to the fact that we have a heavy representation from all grappling styles. Wrestlers, Sambo players, BJJ artists, Judo players, etc all fight differently and we accommodate those differences. We do not presume to tell any fighter how to fight his game and are only making illegal the things that are not safe and the things state commissions and insurance companies mandate.
