Rules
Good Fight tournaments are submission-only: no points, no advantages, and no referee decisions. Matches are won by submission, and matches that end without one are resolved through the event's overtime procedures rather than a judge's call — their motto is "the mat decides."
Events offer gi and no-gi divisions for kids, teens, and adults across belt levels. One notable safety rule: any competitor rendered unconscious during a match is withdrawn from competition for the rest of the day. Check the current Good Fight rulebook for division-specific rules, including the separate novice and kids rule sets.
Always confirm the official rulebook before you compete — organizations update rules between seasons. See the official event page for current rules.
