Even with more snags than I've seen in an IBJJF tournament before, NAGA can't hold a candle to IBJJF in caliber of athletes or in timeliness of the event. I wish the divisions would've been bigger, but I think holding it so close to Pan Ams and not updating the athlete roster for a long time probably hurt registration. Hopefully, if they put one on next year they can figure out a way to eliminate the issues and encourage more participation. Comparing IBJJF to a NAGA is a little ridiculous.
