I was wondering if anyone in the wrestling community had any suggestions about the format of a takedown tournament. At last year's SSG, we ran it as 3 - 1 minute periods. If a takedown occurred, the period was over. If no takedown was scored, it was a draw. This ran well, but was very short. I didn't know if there was a better way out there that someone would be willing to share?

Some ideas are:
Unlimited time - best of 3
Unlimited time - First one to 5 wins
1 block of time, continuous, 1st to X, wins
1 block of time, continuous, the most takedowns wins

Any and all suggestions will be considered. Thanks!

It should be all about mat time. For that reason I wouldn’t like the one take down and the period is over format. I would like to see full periods best two out of three.

Hillsboro has a very good takedown tournament every year. Take a look at the rules of their tournament.
