Thanks you, all my sponsors, for your pledges! Here are the videos of the matches. Please note that none of the opponents knew about this pledge challenge, and though they said afterwords they would have given me a chance if they had known, I didn't want them to change their game or take it easy on me.
The total scored is three (3) points.
Now you can go to Indiegogo.com and donate your pledge. You will notice that each pledge comes with a collection of "perks" commensurate with your level of contribution.
Now I have a 2-36-2 record in competition and I don't think I have scored even much more than a dozen points in my entire career, but I am working out, training, and improving, as you can see by this video...
...so I took a gamble by doing this.
And just to put as little more competition in, the person who pledged the most received a copy of the preview DVD screener, a copy of the finished movie, and a copy of the all-original soundtrack CD once it is all done!
Here's the way scoring worked at the tournament, according to the rules posted at the Acom Sports website:
Scoring Points: To gain points for any move or position, the competitor (aggressor) must show clear control for a 3 second count by the referee – this is the key in point scoring for ACOM-SPORTS – TOTAL CONTROL FOR 3 COUNT TO EARN POINTS
1. Takedown or Throw: Land on Top in Guard or Half Guard= 2 points Land on Top in Side Mount or Full Mount= 3 Points Note: Points will be awarded separately for Full Mount after an additional 3 count of control.
2. Sweep with Legs (from Half Guard or Full Guard) or Arm Drag from Open Guard to Turtle: 2 points (must hold for 3 count to be awarded). NOTE: Inversions (Power Rolls from Side, Full or North/South are NOT considered Sweeps & will not awarded any points or advantages
3. Passing the Guard (open or closed) - 3 points (must hold for 3 count to be awarded points) – MUST CLEAR ARMS & LEGS
4. Mounted position (both knees on the ground): 4 points (must hold for 3 count to be awarded)
5. Back Mount with Leg Hooks (or Knees on the Ground with Opponent Flat on his Stomach): 4 points (must hold for 3 count to be awarded)
In addition, for the purpose of this pledge drive, if I win by points, that's worth 5 points plus points scored in the match. Should I get so lucky as to win by submission, that will count as 10 points, plus points scored in the match.
Thanks in advance, those of you who will be contributing. I look forward to doing my best and living up to the confidence you have put in me!
