Rules of the Square Go

Each team will consist of 5 competitors. The maximum weight limit for a team is 400kg and can not be exceeded (this averages at 80kg per competitor). The team captains will each submit a running order for their team. Both competitors selected as first in the running orders will face off in the first match. If a competitor wins by submission they stay on to face the next athlete on the running order from the opposing team. If there is no submission both competitors are eliminated. This will continue until all members of one team are eliminated. Matches are 8 minutes long unless one athlete has a 20kg+ weight advantage over their opponent, in which case the match length is 4 minutes. Standard SGI No Gi rules apply for all Square Go matches. The winning teams from each quarter final will advance to the semi final and final rounds which will take place at SGI 6 on the 17th of August.
