I agree, especially at the state tournament level that 2-2-2 for consolations should be implemented. One added minute is a lot to work with work for many of these razor thin matches.
At one point the rule book used to give the choice of using 2-2-2 or 1-2-2 for consols. But almost all of the time the event organizers went with 1-2-2, likely because it slightly sped things up. I’m assuming that this trend caused them to adjust the rule book awhile back because last I read it now say all consolations are to be 1-2-2.
