The rules are set for TERMINUS.
TERMINUS touts itself as "modern age grappling" and with that comes a unique set of rules.
Here are the announced rules for the debut event on January 16:
- All matches must be won by pin, submission, knockout, or DQ unless a substitute stipulation is agreed upon by the grapplers
- Singles and tag/multi-man matches have a 15-minute time limit. Championship matches have a 20 minute time limit.
- There will be a 90 second overtime if there is no winner after the time limit expires. If no one wins in OT, the result is a draw.
- DQs happen through two technical fouls, the use of a foreign object, or outside interference.
- Technical fouls include throwing an opponent over the top rope, a 10 second top rope count, a 5 count on the ropes, intentional physical contact with the referee, intentional low blow, eye-gouge, fish hook, hair pulling spitting, or closed fist.
- Count outs are five seconds.
- Any use of a weapon is a DQ and expulsion from TERMINUS.
