This might be a good one for me to come back to competition with - less pressure with a sub only, and not too far from home. Hopefully I can make it out!

Would be great to get you back on the competition mats!

That was a fun event.

In Metamora there are lots of draws. Is that the case here?

 

[yovan]

There are no draws, ever.

There are no draws, ever.

So each match lasts until someone gives up? That could be 9 very 30 min

 

[yovan]

Yep, some matches last hours.

goatfury will be by shortly to drop some scientific knowledge on match times.

Jay, you know me so well.

Average match length is about 8 minutes, but you might have a very long (or very short) match. Here's some data from previous events:

Thank you;

Unfortunately not going to make it traveling for work.

But sub-only is a ton of fun, for anyone on the fence. And I've had two matches go for over an hour before (in two separate competitions) plus a couple under 2 min. It's fun either way!

Just wanna bump this thread to give props to Andrew and the rest of the US grappling crew. Super well run tournament today and sub only is always a fun format.

Just out of curiosity, do you have all the datapoints (on a match level) in a spreadsheet somewhere? As a statistician, I'd be interested in seeing this.

I'm not 100% sure exactly what data Chrissy has compiled, but check out www.submissiononly.com for some of the more general stuff (by event).
