Question Judo Good For Takedowns?

Hey yo,

We've been working on our takedowns at my school, and i was wondering if you guys think Judo throws are effective for sparring/tournaments. I'm at a Carlson Gracie school and we do practice the Judo throws and trips, but everyone pretty much uses wrestling takedowns when we spar. I have only gotten a judo throw to work ONCE in six months, most of the time my opponent gets my back when I go for them. Should I just focus on the wrestling takedowns, or do you guys think the judo throws are worth the time and effort it takes to master them?
