Actually most competition have started to shy away from leg, compression, spinal locks at least until Brown/Black belt level with heel hooks and the Twister (haters) always on the band list, for the sake of how dangerous they can be even when executed properly. A lot of organization adhere to IBJJF rules and regulations because of how organized it is, and it's emphasis on safety, While organizations like NAGA when competing No-Gi pretty much anything past the Beginner level is good to go. It really depends On what type of competition you are trying to do, but most organization go by IBJJF rules at least while in the Gi. I am probably leaving a lot of stuff out but I hope this helped. Oh yeah the basic rules, no biting, fishing hooking, striking, groin shots and no small joint minipulation I.E. wrist locks, twisting thumbs and shit.
And reap the knee when ever possible.
All the tourny I have done (No-Gi) are either straight out of IBJJF or damn close to it.

Look at the rules for the Midwest submission challenge.
The two main one's in Scotland, Meat's comps and Rob's Vision ones use IBJFF rules, with the exception in Rob's that allows kneebars at all levels. He also changed the rules so that knee reaping was allowed unless it was being used to finish a submission, i.e, reaping the knee when applying an achilles lock.
Thanks guys
anyone ever fought FILA rules?
on a slightly different tangent, probably had one of the worst organised tournaments ive heard of this week. their rules were weird, lots of other problems but are there many 3 minute matches in comps? im used to fighting 5-8 minutes. but anyway at this tournament, no one really had a grasp of the rules, a couple of fights stopped half way and the ref and the two coaches argued about what was allowed and what wasnt and how that affected the fight. to be fair they organisation didnt have any real refs, the refs were other guys rolling in the tournament that had experience and werent fighting at the time.
but yeah they used FILA, ive only heard of it a wee bit, seems slightly different to ibjjf but that just me,
i think my post sounds a bit outof it but im really confused about what was really going on last weekend so yeah, sorry ;D
Most of the tournament by us are closer to adcc not ibjjf. Leg locks, neck cranks and spine locks are usually all legal. Occasionally they will be illegal in beginner/novice divisions, but legal in intermediate/advanced.
Up here in Canadia...or at least in Ontario, we are lucky to have a number of tournaments that go on in the Greater Toronto Area and Peterborough is just about an hour an a half away so a few of us end up competing a fair bit throughout the year in Toronto. Pretty much every one of those comps however, are strictly IBJJF rules only. The best opportunity we've had for a different rules set is a Grapplers Quest on the other side of the province and a NAGA which took place recently in Montreal. Regardless, I hope we can get more tournaments up here that run with rules closer to ADCC so we can start subbin dudes with leg locks and neck cranks :)
been fighting under FILA rules my whole jj career, as of late they are becoming a bit wierd but all in all ok I guess. Not to friendly towards the grappler that likes pulling guard....

ahh well theres always next time.
The only new rule being implemented I don't fully understand is the "reset".
To be more precise, I competed in the weight class above my own, jumped guard and my opponent ended up pushing me to the end of the mat where we stayed for approximately 5secs. The new reset rule brings you back to the middle of the mat but in neutral position and not in guard.
Basically you jump guard for nothing just to get back to the middle of the mat and for all your trouble your opponent gets his "deserved" reward of being in a better position. Go figure :D
FILA grappling rules are most common in no gi here in Croatia, sometimes ADCC rules (wich I love most), talking about the gi, ibjjf rules apply.
