As I said before i'm not denying that it was a rell run event. I know of 2 seperate occasions where the clean takedown pointing didn't occur, one on mat 2 & one on mat 3, it may have happened more than this. On mat 4 there was a lot of missed points and the re-setting of positions was terrible, I remember a re-start where some of the audience had to intervene as the referee forgot where he'd stopped the fight. I could go on and on but I wont. All i'm saying is that there needs to be a lot of improvements in the refereeing department! People are travelling miles and paying £25 to compete!Originally Posted by Wisniewski
Occasional mistakes are acceptable but the amount I and others witnessed was not. Please don't insult me by saying i'm making excuses. I know that i'm at best an average grappler and have a vast amount of work to do in every aspect of my game. I wasn't the only one affected by these poor decisions. I've been to several grappling competitions before and lost before, not once have I complained, the reason behind this was because it was a very well officiated competition and I lost fair and square. At this event it was a different story. Wisniewski seems like a great guy and apologised for anything that may have went wrong and is seeking to improve. You on the other hand are blaming others for your shows obvious ineptness and taking this attitude will only hinder any future progress you & your show wish to make.
