IBJJF Point Scoring Quiz: Master the Scoring System

Two, three, four: the IBJJF scoring system fits in three numbers, but its special cases separate the competitor who suffers the score from the one who steers it. This twelve-question point scoring quiz puts you to the test.

What this quiz tests

This point scoring quiz covers article 3 of the official IBJJF rulebook: the scoring table (takedown, sweep and knee on belly 2 points, guard pass 3, mount and back 4), the 3-second rule, points denied while defending a submission, the subtleties of pulling guard and mat exits, and the value of the advantage.

Twelve questions drawn from our reference article on BJJ point scoring, to know before your next competition: every point understood is a point you will no longer lose.

Every answer comes with a detailed correction. To master the scoring table, reread our article on BJJ point scoring. And to keep playing, all our quizzes are on the BJJ-Rules quiz page.
