This video is about Leg grab disqualification, arguably UNJUST?? Thank goodness the rules changed back to more sensible light indirect contact permissible again.

At a recent tournament our judoka fought and in my view got in a legitimate kouchi makikomi. The video 2 refs with the far side seats called against the clear view centre ref and awarded DQ (disqualification) for leg grab technique. Andrew (in white) denies any leg grab and I can only agree, from this video. Can anyone see any problem? Why did the 2 far view referees over rule the centre. He should be given priority over a view that can't tell what went on. Sideline referees rear left, video ref to rear right. 
Can you see something I cannot?
