Know the Rules!!

To this day it amazes me how many people go to tournaments and compete without knowing the rules. It seems at least a couple times a tournament there is someone arguing with the referee over rules that are clearly stated. This is such a hastle for the tournament promoters and staff, so do us all a favor if you are competing this weekend at the No Gi Worlds and watch the above video on the rules and part 2 found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE4ouhqHAB0.  Knowing the rules will make for a much more enjoyable experience for you, the staff, and other competitors, so PLEASE take the time. Hopefully I’ll see you guys there this weekend; come say, “Hi” if you see me out at the pyramid.
