Tournament Statistics (NERD ALERT)

[Brandon Mccaghren]

We hosted a submission only tourney today. Probably the most fun thing we have ever done as a team. Several different area schools showed up and everyone loved it. We used the rules that were in place for the Gracie Nationals. The only difference is that we allowed all submissions at all belt levels. There were no kid divisions; only adults. 15 minute matches. If there's no submission, neither guy advances. No time limit in the finals.

We kept statistics. Here they are. Let's discuss trends, success/fail rates, etc...

What other stats could be kept and what could we do with this kind of information? It could re-shape the way we train! What do we train to finish with? What do we train to defend against and escape from? At what point in a match do certain submissions become more of a risk? What percentage of the time is the Rubber Guard successful to sweep with? Submit with? Imagine that there are 2:20 left in that match and you hear your coach yell, "Don't go for that Arm Triangle. It's only successful 14% of the time after the 10 minute mark, and the other 86% of the time it results in a guard pass or a reversal." (This only a hypothetical; in no way does it reflect compiled statistics.)

Oh, the possibilities!

From now on I am going to have someone recording in-depth statistics for each match we compete in at all events.

Holy Mother of statistical analysis! I'm loving the breakdown!

[Brian Debes]

Hmmm… no oma-plata’s, slicers (other than ham sandwich), or spinal locks to name a few things that stick out. What is the stat separation on gi/no-gi here?

My love of jiujitsu & love of math are finally coming together...

lemme see dem vids bruh

This is way cool!! What stands out for me is the less than 1 minute super fast subs, Armbar/triangle. I'll be on the look out for that next weekend. Both defense and attacks. They can be done on a very fresh full power opponent. We will spend time this week drilling armbar/ triangle defense! Also,3 out of 4 RNC came in the second minute.

That is awesome information

Interesting that the finish due to fatigue came just a few seconds after the match had hit the average match time.

great question. most of these matches are no gi. i can break it down further. give me a little time and i will get that answer for you.

as far as omoplatas, there were some used to sweep but no submissions.

Very interesting indeed. This was his second match. His first match was a loss by armbar (in the no gi bracket) in 3:31. He tapped due to exhaustion at 5:41. He had 8:12 of mat time before he was finished completely.
