What is EBI Overtime in BJJ?

Quick Definition

Eddie Bravo Invitational overtime rules where competitors start from spider web or back control.

Full Explanation

EBI (Eddie Bravo Invitational) overtime is a system used when a submission-only match ends without a finish. Each competitor gets a turn starting from back control (with seatbelt and hooks) and spider web (armbar position). The defender must escape, and the attacker must submit. Fastest escape time wins. This system ensures there is always a winner while rewarding both offensive and defensive skills.
