Scoring system

Understand how points, advantages, penalties and the tiebreak criteria work in KEDARO Nexus competitions.

Overview

The KEDARO Nexus scoring system follows the official CBJJ rules for sport Jiu-Jitsu, with adaptations for each age category and belt.

Check the points for each position during the match.

Advantages are awarded for actions that almost result in points.

Situation	Examples
Guard pass	When the athlete almost completes the pass, but the opponent recovers guard.
Mount	When the athlete reaches the mount, but does not stabilize it for 3 seconds.
Back	When the athlete reaches the back, but does not establish full control.
Sweep	When the athlete unbalances the opponent and comes on top without stabilizing.
Near submission	When the opponent is in real danger of being submitted.

The match can end at any moment by submission.

When a submission happens, the winning athlete is declared immediately, regardless of the accumulated score.

The winner is decided in this order:

CBJJ has no golden score; in AJP it applies at 0×0, and ADCC has overtime on a tie.

Points only count when the position is stabilized and controlled for at least 3 seconds, as per the CBJJ rule.

Penalties are applied for rule infractions and accumulate during the match.

Up to 15 years old, disqualification comes at the 6th foul. Very serious and disciplinary fouls disqualify immediately.
