Grappling also start standing... why negating the ground makes me a lesser grappler?

Ben Askren has this idea that a near-submission should be rewarded highly in grappling. I like the idea. Is this considered in CW?
No.
Although, if a match goes without a score, the more active side will be awarded the win, so going for submissions (and takedowns) is important.
