Why people argue about this
People often assume that if a competitor successfully submits their opponent in Para Jiu-Jitsu, they automatically win, ignoring other scoring elements like points or referee decisions. However, the official verdict clarifies that submission indeed has the highest priority, but it doesn't overshadow all other factors; these still play crucial roles in determining the final outcome.
