Two 3-minute periods (30-second break); Total: 6 minutes of competition; If tied at time end: 1-minute overtime → if still tied, last-scoring competitor wins
Why people argue about this
People often think that takedowns are worth more points than submissions in Grappling governed by UWW, but actually, both takedowns and submissions carry equal point value, with sweeps being a third scoring category. This confusion arises because submissions can lead to immediate victory through a submission win rather than just earning points over time.
