A few of our warriors from HQ competed in the Sub Only tournament at Big John's over the weekend. They had an interesting format - instead of draws, they have overtime periods where competitors were able to choose which standard position they would like to attack from (guard, half-guard, back control, mount) for a two-minute overtime period. I've heard Eddie talk about this as a possibility for tie breakers before but this is the first time I saw it in action.
At the end of regulation, the ref would turn his back to the crowd and hold a number of fingers up. One person would call "even" or "odd" and if they were right, they won the right to choose their position. If there was still no submission at the end of the first overtime, the other competitor would then choose their position. If there were four overtimes with no winner, I think a draw would be called. I didn't see anything like that go down.
I only saw one person choose something other than back control for overtime. The video of Zisu, one of our white belts, starts towards the end of regulation time, then goes to triple overtime before he lands a RNC.
