BEFORE THE FIRST MATCH ☐ This pack follows IBJJF rules, the system most gi events copy. Part 25 covers the variants. Check your event's rules before you rely on any number here. ☐ Know your own belt's legal techniques before the day (Part 24). An illegal attempt earns no advantage and may end your match. ☐ The referee's board is the only ledger. This pack trains you to read it, not to argue with it. ☐ Protests belong to your coach, after the match, through the event's channel. Competitors do not dispute mid-match.

Part 1: The Scoreboard, Anatomised

The reading order in a tie. Points first. Advantages second. Fewest penalties third. Referees' decision last, only when all three columns match. Every quiz in this pack is graded in that order.
