White Belt: 4 min; Blue: 5 min; Purple: 6 min; Brown: 7 min; Black: 8 min (10 min for major tournaments); If tied: referee decision based on points, advantages, penalties
Why people argue about this
People often assume that match lengths are standardized across all belt ranks and tournament types in AJP, which leads them to argue about why matches aren't always 5 minutes long. The confusion arises because the official verdict specifies variations based on rank and type, not standardizing these durations universally.
