IBJJF vs ADCC Quiz: Do You Know Both Rulesets?

Our IBJJF vs ADCC quiz in ten questions: points, submissions, overtimes. Do you really know the differences between grappling’s two great rulesets? Good luck.

What this quiz tests

This IBJJF ADCC quiz covers everything that separates the two rulesets: point values and when they activate, advantages versus negative points, which submissions are legal in each format and at each belt, match durations and how ties are broken. The values cited come from the IBJJF rulebook (article 3.1 for scoring) and from the ruleset published on the official ADCC website.

It is the perfect warm-up before watching a competition: understanding why a scoreboard stays at zero for ten minutes at ADCC, or why an advantage decides an IBJJF final, completely changes how you read matches. Count on four minutes, with a detailed explanation after every answer.

Every answer comes with a full correction, and the belt-colored progress bar tracks your run from white to black. To keep playing, all our other quizzes are waiting on the BJJ-Rules quiz page.
