As I am getting ready to roll & Post the 1st HFW card here is a question, How do you use your time limit? Me I tried the dice count.

I use a stopwatch. Then, if the time limit runs out, I roll 10 more moves (to signify the last 10 seconds of the match) to see if a winner can be determined. If not then it's a time limit draw.

No way I could ever use a stopwatch! lol. I'm too distracted with something on TV, radio or kids yelling.
What I do is use how many fatigue "points" a wrestler has. For an opening match card, which usually went one fall, 15 minute time limit in the old territories...
I'd make it when both guys will get up to 8 on their PIN...then it's a draw.
Take Sandman 6(3) vs Ox Baker 7(4) as an opening round match. ONce Sandman gets 5 fatigue points and Baker gets 4, the match is a draw.
I obviously make it higher when it comes to main events. I may bump it up to 10 due to longer time limits (usually 60 minutes) and better wrestlers.
IF Bobo Brazil 4(1) was facing Harley Race 5(2), those two are going to battle if its a main event, which is the way it should be, considering it would be a 60 minute time limit
I hope I explained it OK.

That sounds like it would work pretty well. Going to have to give that a try when I get started up again.

I jot down each move in columns on a sheet of A4 lined paper. I'll allow 4 columns for a singles match and 6 for a tag match.

I'd give anything (well, I'm exaggerating  ) to have all of that time to do that. I'm lucky enough to get to hurry and play one card, let alone one match, before life (i.e. kids, work, etc) come calling! |

then that was a fast match, you see my title matches are rolled up to a dice count of either 65 (45min) or 100 (1 hour)
Non title matches are 50 (30min) or 40 (20min)
