Ruleset
WNO
FloGrappling's superfight ruleset: submission-only regulation with judges' decisions weighing aggression and submission attempts.
How the ruleset works
Who's Number One runs professional superfights under a submission-first ruleset: no points in regulation, with matches that go the distance decided by three judges. The criteria reward submission attempts, positional dominance, and aggression, in that spirit; stalling gets punished on the scorecards rather than the scoreboard.
Cards mix gi and no-gi superfights, which is exactly the "mixed attire" case that makes per-match ruleset labeling matter. Time limits are typically 15 minutes.
