well you were on your back...
Typical Judoka

Next time, grab his leg as he tries to pull guard. You should get the 2 points as you usually aren't allowed to pull guard to avoid a takedown. All you need is to grab his pant leg as he's jumping and a good ref should award you the points. (Although I just realized that I'm talking about with the gi, which may not be the case here?)
Yeah it was in Gi. Do you mean just overhook his leg or like grab the pants or what? Is it to make it look like a takedown of my own or something?
Ah it probably didn't matter. I felt like that ref was biased for the way he was calling some things, guess there isn't much I can do about it though, other than do my best to not leave it upto dumbass judges.
You actually will have to attempt a TKD, you just cannot get 2 points for holding his pants.
Yeah thats what I thought too. The leg holding thing didn't make sense to me.

Not necessarily. If he attempts to jump guard while you are holding the pants, it's 2pts for takedown.
I thought you will to make some kind of movement as well to be considered a tkd attempt.
so holding the pants would be considered as an attempt of tkd i.e reaching foward and grabbing the pants.
Just had a fight, he's in my closed guard, it goes to time, both of us - no points, no advantages.
Referee walks over to the timekeeper, walks back over to us, says "we don't have time for overtime so the other guy won because he was more aggressive."
As if his aggression (shaking around in my guard without offering any hint of an open or passage) was worth more than the deep collar grab I had trying to work for a choke the whole time.
Oh well, I know it's my own fault for not being better/sweeping/finishing him.
/end crybaby rant.
