The 4th Southwest Classic came to a close last weekend, in another successful outing for the AZSBJJF.The tournament brought plenty of action, with teams fighting hard to place within the Top 5 in the Adult Team Division. At the end of the day, the announced Top 5 were:

1st GD Jiu-Jitsu

2nd Nava BJJ

3rd JCBJJ

4th Siege MMA/Lotus Club

5th Ruffhouse

After re-organizing and re-calculating the result after the event, it was discovered that one division had been omitted from the points (female/purple/absolute). The program used to organize the brackets, input the results, and calculate the points added the medals from this division, but without adding the points and this error was not spotted until the day after the tournament. With the missing points added, the Top 5 was altered to reflect the true point standings. The correct Top 5 are:

1st GD Jiu-Jitsu

2nd Nava BJJ

3rd JCBJJ

4th Ruffhouse

5th Siege MMA/Lotus Club
