In fact what division were you in? With some people, theyre just so high level, they were probably working their most successful paths (ie. pull guard and berimbolos or nothing) at that tournament trying to get the most efficient path to the absolute to win the trip to the worlds that was on the line. I'll be honest with you I've seen guys warming up and recognized theyre judo guys by how they stand or warm up and immidiately buttscoot just to take them out of their game or bridge the gap so their superior throws don't play a factor in our match.
