EBI rules have no points, no advantages, and no judges. The ten-minute time limit matches are won via submission only, and all submissions are legal.
If there is no submission, the match goes into overtime. Grapplers in OT start from either back control or the “Spiderweb” (Juji Gatame). Winning the coin toss means you can decide who goes first.
The competitor on offense can move from the back to spider web and back, and to the truck and back, and back and forth from these three positions as many times as they want and the round is still live. The back is still live as long as the seat belt is in place; losing both leg hooks does not stop time as long as the seat belt is still in place. The round ends in any other position than the back, spider web and the truck unless caught in a submission “in transition.” For example, going to an arm triangle from the back, which puts the offensive competitor in side control or mount keeps the round live until the escape is complete or there is a tap. Going from spider web to a triangle which puts the offensive competitor on his back in guard is still live until a full escape is achieved. Going to a leg attack from spider web or from the back, or the truck is still live as long as the leg is in imminent danger. As soon as the leg is defended securely the round is over.

If one grappler gets the sub and the other doesn’t, then the winner wins. If both grapplers get a sub, the process is repeated, to a maximum of three rounds. If there is still no winner, the fastest combined escape time wins.
