I agree with all of the above as well. These wrestlers train to wrestle a minimum of 6 minutes, so why take that away from them regardless of where they are in the bracket. Another minute of wrestling could completely change the outcome of many matches.

I'd also like to see the high school division adopt the 4-pt nearfall rule that the collegiate division currently has in place. It provides more excitement in my opinion. It also gives more incentive to stay off your back!
