Guys,
I posted the results of our meet against Pitt on the website. Great job.
I linked to everyone's videos as well. I would suggest you take a look at the video just to see how you did.
What I'll be doing in this thread is going over the video of your match in detail. I'll let you know what you did well on and what you need to work on for the next tournament.
The point of this is just to have someone with a lot of grappling experience take a look at your match so you have a better idea of what to work on during practice. The point of training is to get continually better as time goes on, so this will help you do that.

Kevin Smith
0:30 -- This takedown ended up very nicely. Landing in side control gives you an immediate advantage here.
0:45 -- You let him get full guard from here. He started in a terrible position, so you should immediately go for the butterfly guard pass instead of letting him regain a decent position.
1:00 -- Nice kneeling guard break.
1:10 -- You avoid the armbar because your opponent doesn't do it well, but against a skilled opponent you would have been submitted. You need to pass to the opposite side of your attacked arm, not the same one. That is, since he is attacking your right arm, you need to underhook with your left arm and move your hips to your left side.
1:45 -- This a good leg lock attempt. When your opponent rolls like this, you need to roll with him face down. If you can get the opponent face down, you can easily finish. You could have won the match here if you had done that.
2:10 -- This is purely personal preference, but I would engage him when he falls down like that. When you can approach the open guard from a distance like, it's usually easy to pass since the opponent can't control your body to stop it.
2:25 -- You have a good guillotine here from standing. What you need to do is pull guard immediately.
2:30 -- When you pull guard, you need to fall straight back and wrap your legs around his waist. You can even jump in the air a little to do this. It's imperative that you pull guard correctly or else he will pass your guard as happened here. This puts you in a very bad position and gives your opponent a huge advantage.
2:32 -- You can raise your right leg here to make it harder for him to mount you. It's not that big of a deal in training, but in competition he just scored an extra 3 points on you. Getting mounted in a tournament is a great way to lose.
2:45 -- Although it is slightly better to pass to the other side against the armbar as we discussed, your opponent was turned so far that passing to the side you did was a good decision. You do a very nice job of staying tight here and passing into a great pin.
3:00 -- When you go for the americana and the opponent turns into you to counter, he is giving himself up for an armbar on the opposite arm. Try to take advantage of this by putting your hips in position for the armbar first, then releasing your americana attack and falling back into the armbar.
3:30 -- Your opponent's half guard here is terrible. You are in good position to do the face away half guard pass we discussed at practice. His half guard is so bad here you could probably do this pass without even releasing your kimura grip. It is much easier to finish the kimura when you have side control.
All in all, great job.

Randall Jones (second superfight)
0:16 -- Nice ouchi gari attempt. You have to kuzushi and control him on the way down better. Osoto is a better option in jiu-jitsu, since you generally don't end in half guard afterward. Kiai to convince the ref you were trying a takedown.
0:50 -- Drive your hips to the mat so he can't sweep you, then use your free foot to break his lock on your feet.
2:08 -- A little birdy told me you could try the face-away pass.
2:30 -- You try it, but don't free that lockdown.
2:45 -- Keep your forward pressure. Not literal pressure, but guard passing pressure. Letting up let him reposition himself too.
3:00 -- Good job countering that tomoe nage sweep.
3:15 -- In high-mount, grap your hands together, loosen/bend your arms, and shake/stack him. He is a midget so he would have to let go or fall off eventually.
3:30 -- Good roll through the omoplata.
4:00 -- Keep your elbows down and walk your shoulders out so he can't high mount you. Go for your fundamental escapes first: upa, shrimp, elbow-knee, knee-slide.
6:10 -- Stomp your feet - don't just hang on. Got for a sweep rather than a leg lock war.
7:30 -- That kneebar looks awful. Were you all right?
All in all, great job. Maybe next time you will learn to submit someone lighter and shorter than you...
