UK Grappling promotion Polaris have rebooted their ruleset ahead of the 4th edition of their highly-popular show. Instead of using a sub-only format, the promotion has elected to introduce judges decisions.
The times are changing for Polaris Professional Jiu-Jitsu Invitational. After running 3 submission-only events, Polaris have decided to introduce judges decisions for the 4th edition of their illustrious grappling event. The news comes just months removed from Polaris 3, which saw all main card fights end without submissions, which meant by the nature of the submission-only ruleset, they were declared draws.
The new judging criteria includes positives and negatives points.
