Episode 325 - ADCC and CJI Recap

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene recap their weekend in Las Vegas and discuss what it was like attending the 2024 ADCC Worlds and the inaugural Craig Jones Invitational. We discuss how using the "pit" at CJI effected the matches, our thoughts on the use of rounds, the 10-point must scoring system, open scoring, and judging criteria for the CJI. We also discuss the challenges of the ADCC ruleset, CJI trolls, rule changes that could make the matches more exciting in the ADCC, the biggest upsets and surprises of the tournaments, thoughts on whether Gordon Ryan's skill is declining, the best performances of the weekend, future match ups, and building a sustainable grappling organization.
