What is the average length of your LOW matches. I've used a few different timing systems and the average for me so far is between 10 and 13 minutes

I never really timed it but looking at the clock I would say for a whole card I would average between 30 minutes to 45 minutes, now if I do more then one event it would be doubled.

I decide on the time of a match by the flow of it. I envision the match using between moves and chart roles to add up a few more seconds.

If I'm using cards (instead of dice), then a set of 12 offense/defense draws from the deck is one minute. If I'm using dice (which I only use on Desktop), then I divide the total number of dice rolled by 15. I round to the nearest 15 second mark.
My matches vary pretty considerably. Some of them are short (under 3 minutes) but others run longer. I've had some matches (Rikidozan vs. Mil Mascaras - 2/3 falls) that went a full hour. That was, like, an hour and a half at the table.
The Strategy Cards I've used don't affect time all that much. But Stamina Points tend to make match length even out more in the center (a Bell curve, if you will).
Here lately, I've been more inclined to use the Strategy Pin Chart and a wrestling chart that Cory sent me (mainly because they will work with Desktop). Both of those tend to extend matches longer.
Tag matches always seem to run longer than singles matches as well.
I've been experimenting with a "Strategy Points" rule, which replaces the Strategy Cards with a point system. Basically, instead of keeping up with how many double-teams, distractions, pin saves, etc., a wrestler has used all of that stuff is drawn from a single pool of points.
It sort of addresses a failing of the Strategy Cards in that what you draw from the deck may not always be relevant.
I'll post those house rules here once I get them nailed down. Thus far they've shown promise.
