2) dropping to your knees (or maybe it was having both elbows on the floor?) on a non-attack/false attack: this is what made Klimkait lose in the semi's, as she dropped to her knees to enforce a reset but hadn't done so while making an attack

The scoring seems really subjective. Is a throw good enough for 1 point? is it good enough for 2 points? Is it good enough for automatic win? Then when they are on the ground, at what point does the ref determine nothing is happening and order a reset? And as you mentioned, what is a penalty?
In contrast, Taekwondo is easy to understand, kicks and punch score points.
