Competing and Tournaments My first Judo competition

I have fought 5 rounds in total; 4 wins 1 loss. I have 7 months of wrestling background experience, with just a few sessions of BJJ. I just started doing Judo, and these are the fights I feel i performed not so good in. Any advice or tips from all the respectable judokas would be of great motivation! Thank you very much!

Did you get a shido or a wazari for the first throw where you grabbed his back upper thigh?

If you're changing over from wrestling, I'd recommend putting a lot of effort into learning Sasae Tsurikomiashi. One reason is because it's one of the most effective techniques against people in a wrestling stance. The other is that it teaches you to straighten out your posture to execute, so it helps to speed up the conversion.
