Some Key Points:
No points for the back if you have a body triangle or your legs crossed only if you have traditional hooks.
If you sweep and your opponent turtles and you hold it for 3 seconds you get the points for the sweep.
If you start sweeping and you don’t deliberately seek to finish the sweep and come back and preserve the position you will not recieve the advantage anymore.
Recovering the half-guard does not mean an advantage for the athlete who was or was mounted in a position of immobilization.

Rickson Gracie Quote
Master Rickson Gracie, from a recent interview in an MMA magazine:
“Where there’s discomfort, there’s fear,” he said. “In these very tough positions, you’re in a little piece of hell. And through this daily suffering, you learn to survive in these situations. You have to find comfort in the uncomfortable situations. You have to be able to live your worst nightmare. Jiu-Jitsu puts you completely in the moment where you must have complete focus on finding a solution to the problem. This trains the mind to build that focus, to increase your awareness, your capacity to solve problems. Sometimes, you don’t have to win. You cannot win. But that has nothing to do with losing.” - Master Rickson Gracie
