I wouldn't mind getting rid of riding time if takedowns were worth 3 points. Overall, wrestling has done a much better job of limiting stalling on top with 5-counts and such. HS wrestling, and their out of bounds rules, is 100X worse and they don't have riding time.

Although, I think the perfect takedown/escape ratio should be 2:.5. But a half point would make everyone's head explode.
