How are you going to determine someone's skill level?? How are you going to make sure people don't "sand bag"?

I'm not slamming you, just curious. I wish you well.

Danny, why did you steal from me?

I think this means they won't let Renzo compete in the blue belt division.

You're never going to stop sandbagging. It happens all the time and its the worst in small tournaments. The NAGA at least has a data base where they can track people and see how long they've competed for.
