I really hope you have enough medals tomorrow we still have a student who never got his medals from last years event
If you take their money the least you can do is make sure you have enough " 2010 " medals for the divisions you are running there is no excuse for IOU's
kinda like a last chance for redemption fren.
Yes and if your gonna time the matches and use that as part of the judging criteria please make sure you be fair and record everyone's matches.
My guy almost got screwed out of his belt last year because there was a tie breaker decided by the time of his match and no one bothered to time his match and sub of his opponent. And when this was brought up he was pretty much told he was S.O.L. Until his wife chimed in with a video of his match in which he had a quicker sub.
I wont get into why there wasnt any Brazilian Freestyle competitors at my tourny but I do have students in yours so please dont screw them over.
neckcrank,
i didn't know that happened. i thought romolo had enough medals. never knew someone got a wrong medal last year. i know that it has happened in the past and i thought he addressed the issue. my understanding is that there are more than enough medals.
mad tiger,
the score keeper didn't write down the time by ACCIDENT. i was the person they came to. i apoligized for the mistake and correctd it. you make like we go out of our way to screw with you. it was a mistake. i'm not going to say we never make mistakes. can you say you have never made a mistake before? no one can. we do try to minimize them though. by saying to be fair. you make it like we are biased against you. i try to be fair and even to everyone at the tournament. it doesn't matter if they are from your school or our school. it could have been one of our guys who was in the position christian was in and i would have gone about it the same way.
as far as guys from Brazilian Freestyle not entering your tournament, that's their choice. we don't tell them not to enter other tournaments. they pick which ones they want to enter. if someone wants to enter your tournament, i encourage them and try help get them ready any way i can. same as if it was naga, pac sub or the maui tournament.
Ryan I know it's not your all your fault but it seems like if we need to fix something you are the only person that does anything about it and for that I thank you but John Hommel is still waiting for his medal from last year
as far as what mad tiger said I have to agree with him
After a stressful morning, some frustrating times and delays two guys are done, one superheavy no gi left.
Medal count is 3 firsts, 1 second
superheavy no gi pending.

Nah no one ever said you had a vendetta against or my school. Im just stating facts about the way the Triple Crown has been run.And bringing up the mistakes that we've dealt with as a team as i cant speak for other schools. I know ive helped and even reffed for you guys. You corrected it because you had too, they had it on film. Other then that he was basically told he was shit out of luck. That my friend is not fair or right.
As for todays tourny my light weight blue belt heard his name called to the mat where his divison was. He fought and lost a close match by one pt. Five minutes later his name is called AGAIN. Apparently his first match was in the fly weight divison. he was a LIGHT WEIGHT. So then he had to fight his first match in the proper weight class dead tired as he just took on last years Triple Terd winner.
Now I guess there were 2 Tracy's there today, one a fly weight GIRL and the other a light weight male. BOTH from different schools. How someone mistook my guy for a 14olb fly weight female from another school I will never know.
Its reasons like this why 3 guys did the Triple terd not 30 guys from my team. Reasons like this are also why I bring it up on threads like this too.So nothing personal to you when I bring it up just like I know its nothing personal to students of mine when they have horrible experiences at your tournaments.
Besides that congrats to the Gorilla who one his Blue Belt division and is making another run for another belt.
Not to be disrespectful but how else would I know I was right there when they told me they dent have a medal and to give them his address and they would send it to him I asked ( which is an on going joke btw ) if he got his medal and to today the answer has been no which is rediculous and fucking annoying this shit is not worth $70
it seems like it might be sooner then later that non of us will be comng to this tournament anymore
