Personally, I like the longer SV Period, but think the Criteria for determining a winner if tied after TB Periods is absurd (and a typical example of why most wrestling purists find Folk-Style Rules ridiculous and antithetical to the fundamental rules of the sport - i.e., awarding matches as if "Riding Time" is the most important element of wrestling when it is not even a "scoring element" of the seminal sport that Folk-Style was adapted from.).
The OT Rules would be better if they adopted a mandatory "Shot Clock" be assessed after 30 seconds of SV if the match is scoreless (or, if a shot is in progress at 30 second mark and gets stalemated, the "Shot Clock" will be assessed immediately following the Stalemate). The Shot Clock will be assessed against the wrestler who carries less of the Offensive Action with the primary determinant being # of legitimate Shots/Offensive scoring moves initiated. This would improve the amount of Offensive action on both the front-end and back-end of SV as both wrestlers will be more offensive to avoid being put on shot clock and wrestler put on shot clock will need TD to win.
Even if you did no mandatory "Shot Clock" in SV (i.e., as it is now), the OT Rules would be greatly improved by going to a different "Criteria" if tied after TB Period - specifically, 1) Highest Scoring Move, 2) if same Highest Scoring Move, # of Highest Scoring Move, 3) if still tied, 2nd highest scoring move, 4) if still tied, # of 2nd Highest Scoring Move, 5) etc... on Scoring Moves, 6) First TD Scored (this incents Offensive Action early if you know it can determine match).
Thoughts? The current OT Rules awarding a match on 1 second RT ADV after TBs incents scoreless SV Periods and "meaningless riding" (i.e., riding that is not aimed at turning or scoring on your opponent.... "riding for the sake of riding" and nothing else which is antithetical to the seminal rules of the sport.) by zero-offense wrestlers who primary skills are Defense/Counter-only style in Neutral and non-scoring riding.
