Mr. Miyagi,

The time limit will be extended to 10 minutes with an overtime for "sudden death". If it were to be any longer, it could take all day, of which we won't have. This is the daytime portion of an all day show, which means that in the evening, there will be Jacket MMA tourneys.

I have personally been in a submission match that went 45 minutes to draw, so I understand where you are coming from. However, there is a way to have a winner in this format and it encourages submission activity, which adds more excitement.
