<p>This is a complicated question:</p><p> </p><p> Classically wrestling matches used to have rounds. Often with a one minute break in between. They still pop up in European and UK matches (especially for a title). They were 2/3 Falls with a fall ending a round. DQ ended the match. If you ever get to watch one of these give it a try. It's pretty exciting watching a tight submission hold look inescapable and finally the round ends so it looks like the guy that was going to lose gets a reprieve (thus giving a reason for one to try and hold out as long as possible). </p><p> </p><p> Anyway, how is it best to replicate this in-game?</p>

<p>?
