Bracket points and determining the winner
All brackets are round-robin. This means that each athlete will have a match against each other athlete in that bracket (maximum 4 matches in one division).
To determine bracket progression:
- 3 points for a win (submission, pin, or referee's decision).
- 1 point for a draw (no submission at the end of the regulation period, majority draw).
- 0 points for a loss.
The athlete with the highest point total once all matches in a bracket are complete will be assigned 1st place, with the athlete earning the next highest point total in 2nd place, and so on.
Brackets with 6 or more competitors will be split into two round-robin pools. The top two competitors from each pool will advance to a 4-person single elimination bracket to determine final placement.
Any point ties will be decided by head-to-head match results. If the head-to-head match results were a tie (no submission in regulation time) the athlete with the lowest total match time in regulation competition will be awarded the victory.
