Uh, this is a tournament, where winning counts, right? Why would you punish a team for doing really well?

Do you really think there will be some comeback victories because of this rule? I don't. The team that gets ahead by six will still win the game, but it will make the game more challenging for players on both teams.

Nope. Said nothing about a comeback. I think it is stupid to penalize kids for doing well. If you insist on punishing success, let the team who is down by six add a player. At least the team doing better doesn't lose play time in the bargain.
