Injury risk in different competitions

I signed up for a Grappling Industries tournament. Looking through the allowed list of techniques for blue, there's some I'm sure aren't allowed in IBJJF, some I'm not sure.

Sure of:

• Knee bar
• Toe hold (outside, inside, estima lock, boltcutter)
• Bicep/calf slicer
• Knee reap

Not sure of:

• Hand smother
• Groin stretch
• Single hand attack to trachea (distinguished from single arm attack to trachea)

Looks like the main thing you have to look out for is the increased variety of leg-lock attacks. That isn't necessarily a problem from a safety perspective as long as you are familiar with the techniques involved and know when to tap and how to not move in such a way as to injure yourself when someone is applying the lock. If these aren't techniques which get a lot of use in your gym, then I would ask your teacher to go over them with you just in case.

I talked with my Professor about this yesterday. He said he'd show me a bit about them, and that he, the other black belts, and the brown belts would start setting those on me so I can be prepared.

Of course, I say that...most of the brown and black belts already kneebar me anyway.

No lie, that was my first thought as well.

Best I remember, there are a few varieties of the Cloverleaf but they are all leg lock/entanglement?
