I for one think it just might be unless there is a change. Lets look at the sport from the perspective of someone who doesn’t know the art it would look very silly to a potential television producer who would’ve possibly be interested. With point stalling and people waiting only till the last seconds of the fight to fight no one will be impressed by that.
With ebi, metamoris,and the goodfight tournaments there has been a slight glimpse of the pure form of jiu-jitsu thats about “the kill” diving and going after the submission from a business standpoint that’s something I can sell to a network. It Would be near impossible for me to sell a 6 year sandbag blue belt at a ibjjf tournament just laying across a opponent for a round after one guard pass. Im not saying abolish points all together but instead of awarding a takedown or guard pass let award submission attempts. Which promotes more action gives someone that doesn’t know the art something they can understand and gives a promoter something to sell to the mainstream. Just give it some thought
