The Reason the ref stopped us two minutes in was that at the very beginning of the match he almost gave me 2 points for that first sweep, even raising his hand, but I don't think he held up his fingers for the points, instead giving me an advantage for it. Well, I guess the score keepers gave me those first 2, and so the ref stopped us to have those points taken off and giving me my advantage instead.
Bubble Boy- I was definately tired, and really should have done more conditioning before this tournement, but knowing that my division was gonna be small, I didn't worry too much. In the end I really believe that he was way more tired than me. I walked off huffing and puffing after they raised his hand, and he collapsed while his team mates came out to massage his tired limbs.
Like I said I was tired, but really I should have had enough gas to finish stronger, just don't have a very explosive style to begin with. It's one of my weaknesses that I need to work on.
djmarkiss- The difference is that he bought a blue gi, and I bought a white. Typically blue runs a few dollars more than a white of the same style, and seeing as I'm cheap I stick with the white. Your alowed to wear solid blue, solid white, or solid black gis in this tournament.
