1 point: 5-second pin (sufficient to maintain control); 2 points: 10-second pin; Joint locks legal on arms + legs (including kneebar, leg lock, ankle lock)
Why people argue about this
People often argue that the 5-second pin is too generous, as they believe it should be even shorter to reflect the difficulty of maintaining a hold for so long. However, the confusion arises because in Sambo groundwork (par terre), securing a longer pin can indicate superior technique and endurance under pressure, which are valuable attributes in this grappling style.
