DREAM Rules Announced!

Update: What I wrote seems to be about right, but another important thing that a member of the Kakutougi forums pointed out: Ground position in DREAM means a three point position (both feet and one hand). So for example, if a fighter has both knees and one hand on the floor, then no kicks to the head are allowed. I think it was four point at Yarennoka!, but that is changed now.

I’m not 100% sure, so don’t think of this as fact until I update the post with a better translation, but:

—————————

Round Lengths

• 10 minute first round, 5 minute second round.
• 90 second interval between rounds.

Judging

• Fights are judged in their entirety.
• No draws are possible, the judges must pick a winner.

Knees, Elbows, Stomps & Soccer Kicks

• Stomps and soccer kicks to the head of a grounded opponent are not allowed, but they are allowed to the rest of the body. Though if both fighters are on the ground, they are allowed to the head.
• Elbows to the head are not allowed.
• Knees to the head of a grounded opponent are allowed.
• If there is a 15 kg or more weight difference between the fighters knees to the head of a grounded opponent are not allowed.
• Ground position in DREAM means a three point position (both feet and one hand). So for example, if a fighter has both knees and one hand on the floor, then no kicks to the head are allowed.
