Quintet Rule Set
Quintet Rule Set
※GENERAL※:
l QUINTET is a Team grappling tournament. The Team wins a QUINTET match,
not the individual.
l Matches consist of two teams of five facing each other in a “winner stays on”
elimination format.
l Matches begin with one fighter from each team competing. This is called a
“round”. When a submission is scored, the round is over and the defeated
fighter is out of the match. The winning fighter, thought, immediately faces
the next member of the opposing team in a new round.
l The match continues, round by round, fighter by fighter until one team is
completely eliminated.
l The two most successful team from the opening bouts will meet in the
Championship Finale.
※WAYS TO WIN※
l Submission/tapout/ref stops round
l Disqualification - for series foul
l Disqualification
l Round will be ruled a DRAW if no finish in the allotted time (both fighters are
then immediately eliminated from the match)
l Tie-Breakers
- Judgment: (in case of the last bout only) the fighter with less warnings
wins.
- In case of the same number of warnings in the last fight, the team with the
less total warnings wins. In case of the same total warnings, the judge
determines the result from the last fight by using a flag.
l Bout will be ruled a DRAW if no finish in the allotted time
※TIME LIMITS※
1X8min round
l 1X4min round (in case of 20kg+ weight deference)
l In case of warning given to a fighter, the fighter crawls on all fours to the
middle of the mat and the opponent puts both palms on the fighter’s waist.
The bout is started at the signal of the referee.
l In case of a warning to both fighters, both start from standing position.
l 3 times warning results in disqualification loss
l If the referee determines that an illegal act causes serious damage to the
opponent, disqualification loss may be ruled.
