You know, they had featherweight Gi blue belts wrong. Mike Melki got 2nd in that as well. They have "Mike Broome" from Team East Coast.
Chris,
Is Mike Melki from SRJJA Burchfield? Let me know the specifics. I plan to bring this and any others up in an email to Kipp and whoever does the results. I'll wait a day or two to see if more come in.
I noticed several other discrepancies. Mainly white belts and kids/teens registering under their local affiliate academy name instead of as Team Saulo Ribeiro. But, these will probably not be changed. This is the fault of the instructors not informing their students on how to register, or the students for forgetting.
Thanks for clearing things up.
Yeah, Mike's from SRJJA Burchfield. But I'm sure he registered correctly as it says "Saulo Ribero" under his no-gi 2nd place.
If it matters at all he has 2nd place in both of these pics:
