Just wanted to correct errors here about Gunnar Nelson against Ryan and Vinicius.
First: Gunnar was NOT DQ’ed in his match against Ryan Beauregard. Ryan was DQ’ed. With Gunnar up on points Ryan attempted a dbl leg take down towards the end of the tatame perimeter. Gunni’s stuffed the shot and the ref momentarily asked the competitors to stop fighting to bring back the action to the middle of the mat. Ryan, unprovoked, pushed violently Gunnar on the chest towards the bleachers. The ref following IBJJF regulation DQed Ryan on the spot.

Second: Vinicius Corrales was not given victory over Gunnar in their fight. Gunnar won that fight (I think on one advantage, no sure though). Gunnar after that won Bruno Allen in the semifinals but he lost on two points against Gabriel Goulart in the finals. So Gunnar got the silver in brown belt middle.
