might be wrong but did Delaney not get bronze in the advanced absolute?

[meat]

Ryan Dukes was from Cougars gym I think as well

[staffie]

Is that what it's called??

[meat]

Nah, Colosseum Gym I think, I meant Cougar as in he's the instructor

[staffie]

Cougars gym sounds better, lol

[meat]

I actually think Cougar's Lair would be an even better name!

I think amro boray is ur missing link from the abs, I think gary ward beat delaney and then amro faced scott ward and scott put him out, but then the ward bros done rock paper a think but not to sure it was a long day. and there were alot of dnft it was hard to keep up??

I have 1 question, why did some guys choose to rock paper and scissors but other guys choose to compete against 1 another. what are the views on this??

MY views on the competition were it was a good competition but i think jamie has pointed out this before so im not going to bring it back up but consistency of referee desicion must be final and no one should be influencing them to make any desicions, they are in that position for a reason because clearly they are experienced and understand the rules. I had a guy in a very heavy kimura and a person from the side had to advice the ref to stop this at that point, the guy that lost wasnt very happy but in all it might have been the best thing to do. I suppose you can see it from 2 sides of the coin,

Another thing I would like to see is maybe advantage points getting put to good use as the sudden death first point wins thing isnt very concrete, some guys were having to sustain a takedown and hold the position for 3seconds which is fair enough to get the point but other matches as soon as the guy hit the deck with even a sprawl it was over, just another grey spot am trying to point out.

ALL in ALL good competition the level of grappling in scotland has progressed which is encouraging to see, but it would be good to see other teams competing seeing as there are so bloody many of them in scotland!!! But every1 to there own thats my piece.

Why compete against a team mate when you train and roll with each other day in day out.
