Personally I watched this match, Elliot was in the process of going down, but did not hit the mat before time ran out. But even if it was a takedown, Elliot doesn't lose, the match goes into overtime.
Watching this match I can tell you the period should have expired before the clock problem was caught. I know this because the crowd had been yelling at the refs/clock operators for at least 10 seconds. Before next year they have to have towel tappers and better clock operators.
