    - If there are any conflicts in the Rules, pre-1974 Rules will apply.

Please Note:
    - The Tournament will return to the ippon score of yore whereby the full point will be required to have dramatic force;
    - No score for take down techniques employed to take an opponent into grappling mode (a.k.a. newaza);
    - No quick stoppage of the transition to newaza;
    - To allow newaza to continue unless there is a deadlock whereby it is clear to the referee that the opponents in newaza are no longer able to make any advancement;
    - There will be sufficient allowance for time for the opponents to vie for their starting grip.
    - Also, as newaza will have a greater opportunity, the tournament directors encourage practitioners of ju-jutsu (jiu-jitsu) to enter.
    - The tournament will not end in the middle of a technique.  Should a contestant begin a technique (including newaza), the end of the contest will not occur until the technique (including the osaekomi of a newaza technique) is completed.
