I could be mistaken, I believe on this site it is just active time spent at black belt. Stripe #1 is given after you are an active black for 3 years, stripe #2 is 3 more years, Stripe #3 is 5 more years. Same time requirements as ibjjf minus all the Bulls$&it fees

The stripes' time is still what the IBJJF uses. You just do not go through the IBJJF. Now, if you want the IBJJF to recognize your stripes, you have to do all of the IBJJF nonsense.

This site pretty much follows the IBJJF standard with the exception of the Relson Gracie Association which I believe is two years,
Like it or not it is the common time frame followed the majority including Beltchecker.
