You are referng to Edi as a whole, talking about the ot alone. If that match would’ve happened under adcc rules, rustan would’ve won, on advantage. I’m proposing ebi ot rules instead of judges decision.
Anyways, ebi is a sub only tournament, if there’s no sub then you need to find a winner, and if you are going to include judges, then we are back to who looks better, this case might have had a clear winner, but that doesn’t mean you will always have a clear winner.
In. Soccer you get penalty shots after regulation time also straight away, not necessarily after an over Time, that’s only the case in World Cup matches. The winner it’s decided on who score the most penalty shots out of 5. Ebi last resort is who escaped the fastest, that’s not the n1 criteria, if there wasn’t a sub after a round of 3 tries, then the one with the fastest escape wins, and there’s a reason for this, which is logical, if there is no incentive to escape, then one could stall for ever. Right now, it could be said that the stalling part happenes with the attacker, which is true, but its the best situation. I believe there should be rounds until someone gets a tap and defends his tap (by escaping in the same round), may be introducing other positions as well, may be ashi, or limitating the amount of times one could be able to pick the same position, you can pick back control only 2 out of 3 rounds, right now you can pick back control all rounds.
