Time limits are useful if you have several guys using a limited space with a limited time, but otherwise I think it is very interesting to see how long a bout can go on for.
I've got pretty good stamina and don't need many breaks. It's nice to see what happens when I meet a fighter who can last as long as me!
When I ran my Gay Wrestling Group in the 1970s we used to have rounds of either 5 minutes or 10 minutes. (For best of 3 submissions.)
I would find that it took me about 5 minutes to get my opponent into a submission hold and if the round ended after 5 minutes very often I was prevented by the bell from achieving a submission.
On the other hand, less experienced wrestlers found it difficult to wrestle for a round that was longer than 5 minutes.
If you are only wrestling for one submission I think you still need to break it up into rounds because most people cannot wrestle for a long period without a break. They become exhausted and unable to make any effective attacks on their opponents.
The classic length for a one-fall match is 30 minutes.
Suppose for a moment that you had to set a time limit on a submission wrestling round. If the round does not end with submission within that timespan, it is a draw (or decided in some other manner, doesn't matter).
You want the time limit small so both wrestlers are motivated not to stall, but also long enough so a submission is likely. Question is, where would you put the time limit? How long do your rounds usually last?
(Assume a single-submission match, not multiple subs.)
