In this example, your superior mat wrestler was unable to score in his superior position. If he gets a single turn during the second period, the score is 12-8, and he is back to an escape and TD to tie the match scenario. This new scoring system would encourage activity and require the superior mat wrestler to do more than ride out to keep the match close. One turn though and they are right back in the match. This is why I actually am in favor of only changing the riding time rule as a first step and leaving 2pt tds as is. If this were the case, the score would still be 8-5 with one min left, but the losing wrestler would either need two takedowns to tie the match or a td and a turn to win. That to me seems fairer than simply getting one td and a ride out as your only offensive points.

What I've done in the past is use a VPN that changes your location. This allows you to circumvent blackouts. This only works on laptops/computers and not mobile devices. Pretty good article that explains the simple process.

What is this tournament? What organization is running it? etc

To me, this seems to be the best solution. This option keeps the State Finals where it should be while making the smallest amount of change to the tournament series. My preference would be to start the season a week earlier. Does it suck to not have the football guys, absolutely. But again, this seems to me the solution that makes the smallest impact to the state series and keeps the State Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The other solutions, such as moving to a 3 part state series, are interesting but should be considered after this scheduling conflict is taken care of. Let's not try to solve too many things at once here.
