Check out new rules for comp from IBJJF Ibjjf rules for 2024 1. The referee can consult the event’s director of refereeing, but the final decision as to whether to overturn or not overturn a result is the referee’s to make. The director of refereeing should consult the event’s center table regarding how the bracket has progressed and may only authorize the overturning of a result if the bracket has not progressed to the next stage. Results will not be overturned if the awards for the bracket have already been granted. 2. If an athlete is in the 50/50 guard position and grips the lapel or the belt of their opponent, the athlete will have 20 seconds to pursue positional progression before receiving a penalty for lack of combativeness. They will receive a penalty if positional progression has not been achieved after 20 seconds, regardless of intention. 3. Competitors at brown and black belt will no longer be disqualified for turning towards the free leg when applying a straight ankle-lock. 4. Summary disqualification from the match and competition at the moment of the infraction now means that an athlete disqualified from a gi event who is also signed up for no gi will be disqualified from both events 5. An athlete will be disqualified if they are wearing hair dye or makeup that stains their opponent’s gi during a match 6. If an athlete is disqualified, his opponents will move up one position to replace the disqualified athlete’s results. If an athlete is disqualified for a disciplinary penalty after the fight has ended but while the event is still taking place, the next opponent will be declared the winner and his previous opponents will move up one position to replace the disqualified athlete’s results. 7. If an athlete is promoted to a belt for which he does not meet the age requirement, then they are permitted to compete at his previous rank until he reaches the age requirement. 8. Athletes must register in the category which corresponds to their biological sex assigned at birth, namely male or female, as listed on their original birth certificate.
