Submission Grappling (ADCC)
Verdict
Decision priority: submission > points > referee decision (based on aggression, activity, near-finishes); Tournament: single-elimination bracket per weight class + absolute; Gold/Silver/Bronze per weight + Absolute champion separately
Why people argue about this
People often assume that in ADCC Submission Grappling, points are more important than submissions, which leads to arguments when a submission is scored but no points are awarded for it. The confusion arises because under Section 6 scoring, the primary goal is indeed the submission of an opponent, not necessarily the accumulation of points through techniques or maneuvers.
