I was there, couldn't compete because I missed out on registration 
In my opinion it wasn't run that well, below average from what they usually do. My training partner/co worker waited over an hour between his semi final, & final match, thats ridiculous.

I went. It was a good tournament that ran pretty well and I enjoyed myself. There were some awesome matches, I was kind of hoping that I would have been able to watch the black belt matches, but they happened before I gt there. I heard Pablo popovitch won absolute

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I was bummed a bit to lose that way (refs decision), but it happens. The upside was that both guys (brothers) that I competed against were super cool dudes, and we had great matches, which was cool.

I really want to know the results, I know a bunch of people who competed in it. But of course IBJJF probably won't upload them for a while.

I think they get results up pretty quick. Off the top of my head:
Black absolute: 1st Pablo popovitch, 2nd ?, 3rd caio terra
Black lightweight, 1st jt Torres
Black featherweight, 1st henrique resende (pretty sure), 2nd renan Borges (pretty sure theirs was finals)
Brown masters absolute, 1st Monroe hall, 2nd Alberto marchetti (not 100 percent on this one)
Brown medium heavy , 1st Monroe hall, 2nd Josh waitzkin
Brown featherweight masters, 1st marlon loor Vera, 2nd Josh Vogel (me), 3rd Fernando Vera
That's pretty much all I have so far. As a side note, does anyone know who Brandon quick was competing against from renzos school in brown belt medium heavy or heavy? That guy had some awesome guard passing and I would like to see more of his matches.

Yea I competed yesterday at blue leve adult. Got matched up with a really good wrestler. I almost had him in a guillotine but he slipped out. We went back and fourth the whole round but he ended up finishing me in the end. I guess I need to work on my wrestling more. It was a very well run event. I was very impressed.
marcelo's team was rolling deep.

Good tournament. I got silver at blue senior 1 medium heavy. Hurt my rib at the beginning of the final match. Nice medals and t-shirts.
Fuck, I forgot to get my T-shirt, lol.
I got a gold in Purple HW.

That was Max McGarr, program director at Renzo's. He's a monster and his passing WAS really on point in that match. It was a variation on one of John's favorite passes, which I was impressed to see used so well without the gi.

Carlson Gracie black belt Daniel Wanderley won the masters black belt leve. Carlson Gracie Brown belt Israel Reyes got 3rd in light heavy brown, losing by some questionable foul.
