BANLOCA INTERCLUB RULES

Banloca interclubs are not fights; they are fun-friendly events aimed at introducing students of the combat arts into the competitive arena.

We do this in a relaxed, friendly environment where your safety comes first.

The focus is on skill not power and anyone using to much aggression will be informed to slow down.

We operate a three strikes and out rule and if you cannot relax we have a CBD shop and a floatation chamber for your well being, if you ask nicely my brother Joe will give you a foot massage, its an experience never to be forgotten.

Stalling Penalty

If one of the competitors is clearly stalling, the referee will give a warning to that competitor and his or her corner.

If the stalling continues and is clearly obvious, the referee will stop the action and announce a penalty – 1 minute of “escape time” added to that competitor’s OT time. There are no limits to the amount of penalty calls that a referee can give.

The most common stalling penalties are given when one competitor is grounded and his opponent remains on his feet and refuses to attempt to pass the guard of the grounded opponent.

We are here to engage.

Overtime

If there is no submission after the regulation time limit, each competitor will have the chance to try to control their opponent from seated back take seatbelt hold, while the other has a chance to escape.

There will be a coin toss to determine which competitor will choose if they are starting on offence or defence.

Whoever holds the position longest wins. The overtime round will be one minute; if there is still no clear winner, as much as we dislike too, we call a draw.
