Judocomp tournaments will follow IJF rules with some modifications. The modifications are designed to reduce the number of matches decided by penalties and improve the experience for spectators, competitors, and referees.
-
Illegal grips - shido for illegal grip will happen only after 1. Warning 2. Second warning with an explanation 3. Shido
-
Grip breaking - no penalties for grip breaking, including 2 handed

Out of bounds - shido will only happen when a competitor intentionally steps out of bounds to stop the action. Otherwise going out of bounds is "mate".
-
Ne Waza - "mate" is only called when there is a true stalemate lasting for several seconds where neither competitor is attempting moves. If there is action and attempts for osaekomi or a submission, ne waza should be allowed to continue with no time limit.
