Thanks Rachael! It was completely unexpected but I can't wait to get competing at the intermediate level legitimately now (my last competition was at intermediate just because I won beginner last fall).

which tourneys have divisions by years of experience not belt? I dont plan to ever pursue a belt. I have tapped all the blue belts Ive rolled with, except two,(one had over 100 pounds on me) But i couldn't really tell you how good they were or I am since Im so new, I think I just tried harder honestly. There are unranked guys at my gym that I could never tap even if they didn't have 30lbs on me. (im 154)
Congratulations Amber.
And we usually only have 3 weight classes. 136 and under, 136.1 - 158, and 158.1 and above.
It's a catch 22. I think less women compete because of it, which then only encourages it to be this way. Sucks! In fact, there isn't even going to be a womens brackets at all this year at Gracie Worlds. Rose said it is too tough to bracket chicks.
