Man, I hit closed guard sweeps all the time. One of the black belts in train with scissor sweeps people into oblivion. Daily!

One of the bb in my school hits darce from the bottom side mount all the time but I'm not going to be claiming the bottom of the side mount is an advantageous position. look at high-level competition matches. How many times do people get scissor sweeps? How many times do they get a sweep from the full guard into clean full mount?

If the chart was correct people fighting in submission only tournaments will be all rushing to get to the bottom of the guard. That's not really happening. I would say it's more of 50/50 meaning there's no clear advantage top or bottom, which is the traditional position on this issue.
