It isn't about being a "Target" for a dumb forum like sherdog, it's about making this terrible call a target for review at best, at the least make the refs better so that in the future it doesn't happen again. And really, if it was a good call, its about making it a target for the rest of so it doesn't happen again. This isn't spilt milk, or maybe I don't give a shit what another forum is writing about it.Quote:

Its spilled milk to the guy who watched a 5 min vid sitting behind a keyboard not the guy who trained his ass off bought the appropriate apparel according to the stupid rules and paid the money to compete and showed up to put it on the line.Quote:

The refs know the rules better than anyone. If you don't like or agree with the rules then don't compete in their tournaments. Again, the rules are in place to protect the competitors. If you want to risk injury, have shorter grappling career, don't like the rules, then compete in other tournaments. Funny thing is no one is holding a gun to your head making you spend the money or the time for these tournaments.
Having knowledge and applying it with common sense are two very separate thing. That said i'm tired of talking about worlds...Quote:

I agree. Then if one cannot apply the rules with common sense then one should not complain about the rules and being dq'd because they didn't follow the rules.Quote:

You either follow their rules or don't enter. No one is holding a gun to anyones head to compete at the worlds. If you break the rules, you have no one to blame but yourself about being DQ'd. Without a doubt this guy broke the rules.Quote:

That's like you putting a knife in my hand and holding it to your stomach, then complaining to the cops about me wanting to hurt you. (Same stupid comparison as yours before)Quote:

Look again. The guy was trying to pass, that's why he was stepping into him. That's when Jared Carlsten threw his leg over to defend the pass. So... no. It's not like the guy grabbed Jared Carlstens leg and threw it over him. His pass was being blocked by an illegal move, of course he's going to complain. Whether he intended to reap or didn't is irrelevant because he did (in what IBJJF considers reaping). There are no warnings after reaping the knee, you are DQ'd on the spot. This isn't some BJJ conspiracy against 10PJJ, they DQ world champions in the black belt finals no problem. Guys, you can support your 10PJJ brothers without being bias.Quote:
