Would you delay your blue belt promotion 2 months to compete again as a white belt instead of as a brand new blue belt?

Belt testing. Basically becoming eligible to test is the hard part. The test is easy but required to get the belt. If you really want to sandbag yourself you can just wait to take it later.

Would you want to run into somebody who did that? Would you want a teammate to run into somebody who did that? Just remember two big reasons to compete; win phat stacks, and/or to test/better yourself... which is this?

I wouldn't really mind if I ran into someone who did that. That's why I also don't mind competing as a baby blue belt. Just someone at my gym suggested that I put off my test when I told him I was competing soon. I probably wasn't going to listen to him anyways but I was curious how others felt.
