The rules of BJJ follow BJJ's philosophy, positional dominance. That's what makes BJJ so effective, we train the same way we fight, and compete.
To explain further, here are the points system used that illustrate why BJJ translate well from sports to self defense/fighting.
Backmount = 4 points
Mount = 4 Points
Knee on Belly = 3 Points
Side Control = 2 points
Sweeps from bottom = 2 points
Take down = 2 points
Submission = Win
An old Gracie Jiu Jitsu video of BJJ vs Hapkido shows you that positional dominance of Mount controls the fighter, and then setups up the submission. Rorion gives a great breakdown on the efficacy of Gracie Jiu Jitsu.

I don't question how bad ass BJJ is... don't get me wrong. Even though we both know it isn't very nice on your body.
I saw a guy drunk guy get mounted by a Marine once (MP), the drunk guy kept yelling get off, you could see he didn't like being pinned.
The next thing I knew, the guy on the ground had moved the guy forward just enough to get his teeth on the inside of his legs. He let go only after someone cracked on the head with an asp.
Before that, the Marine pounded his head trying to get him to release, the guy reached in his pocket during his pounding, pulled out a 3 inch pocket knife and stabbed the marine 3 times in the back.
That's when he got asp fucked.
When the control switch pops.... you have no idea wtf will go down, you haven't ever trained for it. Black belt, newbie, holding a gun.. .it makes no difference.
That's why it's so deadly.
