I had never really thought of the football thing before, but you're right. I'd be happy with a sixth-match; my experience is that once you hit a 16-team tourney, you usually end up with two days which solves the problem. As for following the NFHS rules, that was pretty much shot down when Kansas went against the weigh-in rules 10 years ago, and no one appears to have died from that.
