bad judge call?

This Saturday I took second for my division in point sparring at a small tournament.





The final match came down to sudden death. I obviously didn't get the point, and I felt that my opponent clearly deserved the win. A bit later a few friends of mine said I shouldve won before the sudden death. I was not swayed because the judges have a better view of the action



As I was leaving some one I never met came up to me and said nice job on the win, and someone else said "you clearly won that last round bad calls were made. "



I think that my opponent deserved the win. Especially from the last point he tagged me with.



This all got me doubting my last match where I took 1st by one point. The judges are all from the schools that are there competing. I know that they are not supposed to be judging their own students, but there is a ton of freindships among the black belt comunity. Any former judges out there give a point they were unsure of because a competitior was a student of a friend of yours?

This match I have no doubt about. I lost. I doubt now that I won my last one.
