If you initiate a submission from mount, side control or in someone’s guard and go from top position to bottom position, your opponent will not be awarded sweeping points since you initiated the attack. If your opponent goes for a sweep while you are on top and in the middle of the motion you attack him for a submission, if your opponent escapes the submission and holds you down for 3 sec, he will be awarded with points for a sweep, because he first initiated the motion. If an opponent takes you down and you end up in a turtle position for more than 3 sec there are no points for the takedown. If you shoot for a takedown and in less than 3 secs you pull guard, you will be penalized with a minus. If you shoot for a takedown and in less than 3 secs you go to turtle position breaking the attack, you will be penalized with a minus. over and if he cannot continue, he will be out, losing the fight.
