2021 1st ADCC North American Trial

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 238 recorded matchups at the 2021 1st ADCC North American Trial, submissions and points finishes were nearly even, with 107 wins by submission and 104 by points. That is a Trial where you had to be dangerous everywhere, since half your matches were decided on the scoreboard.
• ▸ The overall submission rate at the event was 45 percent. For a hard bracket like an ADCC Trial, that tells you a lot of these matches went the distance and got settled by points, decisions, or advantages rather than taps.
• ▸ Among finishes where the technique was named, the Darce Choke led with 4 on record, ahead of the Guillotine Choke and Choke at 2 each. Front headlock attacks were the recurring theme when someone did get the tap.
• ▸ Kade Ruotolo and Giancarlo Bodoni both led the event with 7 wins on record, but Bodoni got there with 4 submission wins to Ruotolo's 3. Two different paths to the top of the win column at the same Trial.
• ▸ Kade Ruotolo beat William Tackett by decision in the -77kgs final. Both had deep runs, with Ruotolo posting 7 wins and Tackett 6 on record, so the gold came down to the judges after a hard weekend for both.
