Back on the old forums I mentioned that I thought it would be nice to eliminate escape points in all cases except for when you start down at the beginning of a period. Folkstyle, as I've always understood it, is supposed to be about "manhandling" your opponent - to me it never made sense that you'd get awarded for returning to neutral after you got taken down. I also would agree that I've seen (and been a part of a few) fluke pins, but never a fluke tech-fall. I'd be 100% on board with giving more match points to tech-falls than pin falls, I prefer the action that comes with tech falls to the often several minutes of riding spent trying to turn them over. To me, there's still a benefit to pinning your opponent -- you guarantee the victory. You would have to watch out for the potential of someone throwing the match, taking the pin-fall loss rather than a tech-fall, so maybe after a pin-fall stoppage you give the victor discretion to continue the match -- or maybe a verbal call/response from the official to the controlling wrestler ( Official: "do you want the pin?", Wrestler: <shaking head> "No!")
