You can't substitute. 6 up 6 count should mean SIX, not 7. I don't like the rule at all, but changing its meaning for injury or anything else defeats
the idea everyone supposedly loves - uncertainty of the outcome. A fall of any kind can mean an upset at the end of the meet. Anything else will get you into
a gray area nightmare. Since we're trying to be like other sports to grow, no one else gets a do-over for injury.
Having taken that surely unpopular stand, I do like the idea of changing up the difficulty requirements in some fashion to make the level of competition remain high.
