Aesopian competed in the Tampa Invitational this weekend.
(taken from another forum)

He won the blue belt division and lost in the finals of the absolute. Here is what happened:
In the blue belt division he won his first two matches by arm bar, then was down in the finals under north south and took the guy's back by rolling up and sinking the hooks to win the division with 3 seconds left.
In the absolute he won his first match by arm bar against a 240 lb blue belt, then won on points against purple, then won his 3rd match by triangle.
He lost the final by two points when he pulled guard and they gave the guy points for a takedown.

Wow, you were competing in that tournament? Congratulations on your success! I live not too far from Tampa, and this tournament was the talk of the masters of my dojo for the past week or so. You must be a real scientist when it comes to grappling to have done so well. Again, congratulations on your success. And nice website, very informative, very helfpul.
