Especially for Scouts on the younger end, you don't want a BOR to crush their spirit, so making the knots a game just makes it light-hearted. Just encourage them to keep trying later on- "that's OK [Sam], I get my fingers twisted sometimes too. But I'll do this every know and then to challenge myself". Again, the intent of BOR is not re-test and search for reason to not pass them- every BOR I saw as means to evaluate how we were doing as a program for discussion to the SM. Hopefully the SM can work that feedback into discussion with the SPL and PLC- "I think it would be good if next month we find an activity to include in a troop meeting to practice knots". -
Regarding length of a lower rank BOR, 15 minutes would be about right, so four a night doesn’t sound far fetched. -

There are ways to find out if someone actually did requirements via discussion and not retesting. And remember, the G2A states: "The purpose of the review is to determine the quality of the candidate’s experience and decide whether the youth is qualified to advance. " (emphasis added). Page 29, 4.4.2.1. "Still, if any member dissents, the decision cannot be for approval. In the case of such disagreement, ... As indicated below the Scout is only told what improvements need to be made." P. 56 "If a board does not approve, the candidate must be so informed and told what can be done to improve...a follow-up letter must be promptly sent to a Scout of any rank who is turned down." So a Board of Review is suppose to make sure work was actually done, and can deny approval for advancement. But appeals will get approved. -
Seems like re-testing to me. What if they can't do it? What do you say?
