Did the ref not catch the reap quick enough?
lol the ref did not catch it at all. My coach began calling it out.

Went to the doctor today. Strained LCL. Pressure, ice, rest and no jiu-jitsu for 1-2 weeks.

It looked in the video like he did catch it but just was slow to stop her motion and it looks like he penalized her (I didn't have audio on). It's Grappling Industries which has a round-robin format so he should have just disqualified her and put her in the losers bracket and let her try to win her way back up.

I didn't hear him say anything until my coach began calling it out, then my coach demanded a neutral restart. She got a -1 penalty, no DQ. There were four in the bracket. One person won 3 fights and the rest of us each won 1 fight, but the other two won their fights by submission, so I didn't make the podium. (I already had two silver and a bronze from other brackets, and I do suck at subs, so nbd.)
I think ref'ing is a thankless job so I try not to complain about refs. This one also didn't give me points for getting side control after the takedown and I didn't catch the explanation why. Just kind of a baffling fight.
She'd been moved up from a lower weight bracket and had a ~15 lb weight disadvantage, and obviously I'm way taller, so other than reaping me I think she fought really well.

lol most refs at the smaller regional tournaments hardly call any penalties and when they do it's really random. I've had a guy literally try to take his Gi off like 10 times and also put it over his head 6 or 7 times on purpose to avoid grips and only got a single warning no penalty or dq. And then I've just by habit in another match barely moved my sleeves slightly past my wrists and got a penalty. This past weekend I had a guy what seemed almost deliberately elbow me in the face twice and the ref just smiled at me. To be fair I just looked up at the ref and smiled also. lol But at least I lapel ezekiel choked the shit out of that guy with full on knee on belly extension lol I actually don't mind the shots to the head kind of wakes me up. But the point is don't expect a ref to penalize or dq someone in a tournament match. You got to be careful and defend yourself at all times. I don't care for having coaches in my corner as they distract me...but this is where having a good coach to call out stuff like that can actually help you.
I have reffed hundreds of matches at a variety of BJJ tournaments including Grappling Industries. I've passed the IBJJF referee test multiple times but would rather listen to a raving egomaniac who has been training for 2 years tell someone who has been training for 23 years how BJJ tournaments work than referee an IBJJ tournament.
This ref DID call the penalty which is probably what they were told to do since the head guy there isn't too concerned with safety and is more concerned with getting done for the day. At least that was my experience and it's why I would never ref there again. But it kind of looked to me like the ref didn't do anything wrong other than MAYBE he could have disqualified her.
I would have, btw because of the way she extended during the reap. But I don't mind having Black Belts screaming at me either and a lot of people don't do well with that. I personally don't care as long as no one got hurt on my mat.

Because side control is not worth points. A guard pass is worth 3 points, not the position of side control. Your takedown landed in side control. That's 2 points. The ref got that right.

LOL!
The extension showed intent to do SOMETHING while in the position which is probably, ultimately, what caused the damage to your knee. Again, because Grappling Industries doesn't take your money and send you home after a loss then it's one of the easiest tournaments to call a disqualification.
And that side control thing is one of the more misunderstood scoring elements in BJJ. I think I explained this on another thread but oh well, I will explain it again. Scoring works like this:
Scoring POSITIONS:
Knee-in-belly: 2
Mount: 4
Back Mount: 4
Back Mount w/hooks: 4
Scoring ACTIONS:
Takedown/throw: 2
Sweep: 2
Guard Pass: 3
A sweep must be done from a guard.
So rolling someone over when they have side control and you land in side control: ZERO points (it's not a sweep and you never pass guard)
Rolling someone out of mount into their guard: ZERO points (also not a sweep)
Make sense?

Oh I know it was the reap that injured my knee. No one else attempted any subs on that leg that day.
It's a great explanation and very helpful! Thanks!

In my experience in any white belt or novice/beginner nogi division refs normally won't DQ someone for the first time they do something illegal unless it's just really bad.
If in an blue belt or intermediate division and reaping isn't allowed then they most likely would of DQ'd them. They just tend to give at least 1 warning in the novice divisions as long as they deem the mistake to not be intentional as in knowing it's illegal and then still doing it. And they expect that by the time someone gets to blue/intermediate that they know better and will often DQ but not always. It's the ref's call at the end of the day what he wants to do most of the time.

It might have gotten me onto the podium but I would have felt fake winning the fight on a DQ anyhow. It was a narrow win but I earned it. So it's all good.
My college karate instructor was fond of saying, "The beautiful thing about the human body is it has the ability to heal itself." :-D My knee will get better.
The bummer part is, I have a women's BJJ camp this weekend I was really looking forward to. I may have to avoid rolling and stick to light drilling with this knee.
Oh well.

Working all day. Hopefully I'll get some underground super secret training in today with the heavyweights at an undisclosed location.
Sucks that we have to resort to that but it is what it is.

Finished my month "seminar" of osoto-gari combinations. Tonight was osoto-gari -> osoto-otoshi.
Sparred our 2 black belts, got beat up and had fun as always!

Lucky you, as we are still in lockdown (and now curfew, too) here in Germany, the only Training I can do is some strength & conditioning and drills/ positioning/ transitions on the dummy :-(
Mostly the same in England at the mo, but things have been steadily easing up. Normal gyms have been able to legally open for a few weeks now, so I've been able to go back to my personal trainer (lots of wiping things down with anti-viral stuff, social distancing, etc).
Non-contact BJJ can start again in England from the 17th May, then back to proper training from the 21st June, if nothing goes nuts (e.g., the various problems around the rest of the world making their way to England, like the issues in India). I should also hopefully be able to get my first shot of whatever vaccine they offer me soon, as they're going through 42 to 44 year olds currently (I'm 40).

Did not get to train with the big boys last night as I ended up working later than expected.
Just at work today doing some cleaning in the yard and now indoors because I got caught in a downpour of rain.
Got drenched. Sucks.... Lol

Ha ha ha - OMG, my student just told me the best story ever. I taught Jade the guillotine choke over Zoom a while ago, in an Artemis BJJ online class. She is a veterinary student, and was at a farm recently, helping with lambing.
She was having trouble with one of the sheep, so she used the guillotine I taught her to keep control of the sheep during the birth. :D
Which means I can now proudly claim that my Artemis BJJ guillotines have been pressure tested on pregnant sheep. I will be mentioning this story EVERY time I teach guillotines from now on. :P
In case you're wondering, it wasn't the specific sheep in this pic, that's one I took a while ago. I do have cute lamb pics Jade sent me, but I'll leave it to her as to whether she wants to post them. ;)

TGIF!! Good day to you all.
Just at work today and hopefully it is a short day. Doubtful but I can always have hope. Lol.
I have a cut in the inside of my upper lip from training the other day and as you all know those buggers become very painful.
Giving me a damn headache. Worst part is I was wearing a mouthpiece when it happened but the forearm shiver I received had no mercy. Lol!
Other than that my body is still a friggin mess so at least I'm consistent that way.
Wish you all have a great day!

Infection numbers on the rise here. Still no complete lockdown instead regional and localised.
Received a warning via app that I may have come into contact w infected person(s) but I don't have to quarantine, test and can continue on as usual. Somewhat of a relief!

1-1 training allowed from Monday woo! Also got my first shot yesterday. Going to be back at the mats after 3 months (had a knee injury right before regulations).
BTW I really really enjoy riding around my OneWheel, this is what makes me happy while I can't train.
AND I got vaxxed with 1st shot of AZ yesterday!

England has moved out of lockdown enough that it's currently legal to go to a fitness gym (not yet BJJ), with social distancing and all the usual safety measures in place (although a mask is not required while training).
Which means that for the first time in about 2 years I've been able to do this again (with my fave new leggings, SO FLORAL :D )
