How did the scoring work out like that?

The one?
I think USG does one for takedowns..? But they’re in the process of adopting a lot of IBJJF weight classes and rules, I think.

I’m confused by that picture and these results:

1st – Shayna Baszler (CSW/Next Edge)
2nd – Miesha Tate, Tacoma, Wash. (Victory Athletics)

For Those That Have Questions...
The most competitive weight class in the women’s division was 63 kg/138.75 lbs. There was a four-athlete roundrobin, with three of the competitors finishing with a 3-1 record.

Winning the weight class based on scoring the most classification points was Shayna Baszler (Sioux Falls, S.D./CSW/Next Edge), who had two submissions during the tournament. Placing second was Miesha Tate (Tacoma, Wash./Victory Athletics) and third was 2004 Olympic silver medalist freestyle wrestler Sara McMann (Gaffney, S.C./Sunkist Kids).

Tate defeated Baszler in their bout, then Baszler beat McMann by submission. In the final round of matches, McMann edged Tate, forcing the division to be determined by tie-breaking criterion.
