Ok, don't get too excited...I just wanted to start a discussion on competition rules, compare and contrast, and more importantly, what rule do you find yourself wanting to bend ( or break ) all the time?
For me, in Judo, the rule I really don't appreciate is not being able to throw daki-age. It is legal to load the throw, which breaks the ground work, but actually executing it is illegal, which basically denies a guaranteed ippon.
I find myself in this position all the time and it's not very satisfying to pick someone up like that and then have to gently lower them back to the mat. I think they should go back to the old rule of calling ippon when uke has been lifted to shoulder level.
