I still think my proposal of giving the refs power to call the match is sound. Whether it's a straight arm-lock, heel hook, kimura, the ref should be able to call it. You don't limit the game the kids can play, but you give an experienced grappler adult referee the chance to stop it before an injury occurs. Like I said, I've seen this in numerous tournaments I've been to and not once has a parent or a kid or a coach been upset that the ref called the match.
