That was pretty cool
“Probably deserves to have her last name spelled correctly too”
LOL!
what was the deal with the “controvertial desicion” im not to up on BJJ scoring but to me it looked like kim got side control in OT for the win? AMIRIGHT?
That was Scott being Scott
Hardcore
I was a little turned on.
Maybe a little wet blanket… tool
AWESOME !!!
Great job Kim !!
Hey Kim…After the initial shock…when did you realize “Wait. I can take her!”
Awesome job again BTW.
That was awesome! Especially having one of the “Dirty Dozen” Chris Haueter ref your match!
Great job Kim!
Thanks everyone! Debi was great and we all had a great experience. Scott was an awesome coach too. I probably would have got impatient and done something stupid if not for his coaching. Maybe someday he’ll even be encouraging, respectful and a good sport – who knows:) ….it could happen…
On the scoring and controversy (referencing http://www.grapplingtournaments.com/tournforms/bow4/bow4package.pdf):
I say it’s possible to award Debi 2 for the sweep she accomplished at 5:54, but she only partially held control by 5:57 – a sweep has to achieve a “top position” for 3 full seconds. So the ref does not award her points because Kim turtles at the last moment. While the rule sheet is unclear about this, I don’t believe that sprawl control is recognized as a “top position,” so the sweep wasn’t held for 3 seconds.
6min matches for Advanced Female divisions, and the match started at 1:00, so match would be over at 7:00. So the controversy is did the ref award Kim the points in time?
Kim begins either “passing the guard” or performs a “takedown into side control” at 6:51 which are both 3 point maneuvers. She establishes side control (which is defined by both shoulders touching the mat and having her legs clear of the opponent’s legs) at 6:58. I say that is enough time to award her the 3 points for either “passing the guard” or “takedown into side control” by the end of the match.
So I say it’s 3-0 Kim by the end of the match. No controversy.
thanks for clearing that up Erik
YES! Great piece, keep up the terrific work. This is the type of information that should gain recognition for it’s craft.
