Wonder if she weighed back in afterwards and complained about being placed in the wrong weight class and that's why she lost? =)Quote:

In the event of a tie, and there usually is, we look at the cumulative time of all the matches (lowest time wins). If there is still a tie, and this hasn't happened yet - although once there was a difference of just five seconds - the fastest single submission will be the tiebreaker.
It's fair, it's clear, and it provides competitors with the experience they all need. The person who loses their first round needs the experience just as much as the person who wins.
But I did feel that the Sub Only tournament had a very interesting approach and perhaps that would be more interesting from a spectators perspective for higher ranking matches.
I like all 3 sub only formats, Gracie Nationals rules, Submission Challenge rules and Sub Leagues/Subonly Series rules. They are all a million times better than the points format :)
I was there, it was cool, I have some videos of Compella, should I post them?
I agree... they all promote the true heart of jiu jitsu better than points tournaments.Quote:
