rule ideas

by Peace (Login PeaceLax)

How about following the draw rules in place in box from Tyke to Junior and for all levels of field... i.e.: if the ball gets lodged in a drawmans stick he loses possession. Currently, too many specialized drawmen in Masters just blatently cheating, trapping with illegally pinched sticks because Masters rules don't allow for stick calls. Then when the ball gets stuck, ref blows whistle, allows guy to take it out with his fingers and keep it! this rule is currently not allowed ANYWHERE, but Masters and is counter to the spirit of fair play.

In the 4 games we played on Nationals weekend, our opponents "won" 6 draws this way, if you're not gonna check sticks, which i agree is burdensome, then take the ball from the guy cheating. I am a big fan of minimal rules, but the free-for-all that has become the draw in Masters is really the only thing a dislike.

cheers
