This list includes only advanced divisions (purple and higher). I missed most of the blue and white belt matches.
Tie
3. Stephen Wanderer (brown belt LW)
Great technical performance. Combined 20+ to 0 in two matches.
3. Sauleh Eetemadi (purple belt LW)
I know that there were more than a few nervous Gracie Barra fans early in Sauleh's first match with a tough guy from Marcelo Alonso. But by the end of the day, Sauleh had wrapped up another first place, finishing his second opponent by armlock from the top.
2. Casey King (brown belt absolute)
Handsome, schmamsome ... Casey "Vicious" King comes back from a loss by armlock (against an opponent with a 25+ pound weight advantage) to win the fastest submission of the day in his second match - by armlock!
1. Lindsey Johnson (purple belt WW)
In what was clearly the deepest, hardest advanced division - Lindsey beat the guy who beat the guy I KNEW was the guy to beat to take first place. A very exciting match.
Correction! I learned Monday night that Casey's 29-second submission was actually bested by an even faster submission in a white belt match later that day. I'm keeping him in 2nd.
