The 1st IBJJF of the year is the European Open Championship and there are some rule changes coming down the pike. The major changes will be the following: 1.For the double guard pull. Athletes will have 20 secs to improve position or stand up or both will receive a penalty. Note if you double guard pull and then come on top you get an advantage anyway. 2.For the 50/50 position, to get 2 points when sweeping, you must open the legs. 3. Single leg take down with the head on the OUTSIDE will no longer be allowed for kids & white belts (ref will just stop & restart, no penalty). For blue to black it is allowed but if the opponent then does a counter takedown (by grabbing the belt like a ‘sumi gaeshi’) then they will be Dqed. (not very clear rule as of yet) More information to come soon. bjjee/bjj-news/news-from-lisbon-changes-to-the-ibjjf-rules-for-2014/ #FargoBJJ
