I think that throwing the Game Manual into the recycling bin represents throwing out the rules. Every 30+/- minutes the rules will change, but not always the same order each match.

It makes so much sense now. I guess now we gotta make masks for the drive team.
YES I have been waiting for this game for my whole life.

Scoring would be rough though.

The refs don't get enough grief already.

The refs could barely enforce the rules of last years game.

Lol Calvin this is your game! Too funny sir! See you kickoff!:D
The refs won't be enforcing the rules this year. They'll be too busy playing "Mao".

If there's ever a game I hated...
did I just hear you volunteer to be a ref this year?
I think he did--and yet, he has a point. Game: difficult to ref at original staffing levels. Staffing levels: doubled by end of season, making it easier...if refs could be found.
Yep, I think he definitely did just volunteer to ref this year. :D

The problem isn't the referees, it's the rules. Saying that the refs could barely enforce the rules isn't indicating that the refs weren't as good as they should have been.
I agree that we shouldn't attack referees and volunteers, but I don't agree we should just ignore the problem- for many, last year's rules resulted in disappointment, confusion, and anger.

No we wouldn't - we could make it up as we go! ::rtm::
(Oh wait, no manual to read) :eek:

In the comics, Calvin and Hobbes were the referees themselves. Thus I think there will no longer be any refs, with all of the ruling falling to the teams to decide (or disagree) on. :rolleyes:
Wait... A new addition to the drive team. . . The team referee :)

+1 good sir. and yeah, it would just be all the teams of a competition and a trophy and just see how they play it out. No field, no refs, no rules but the ones you make.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

I heard something like this occurred in 2009 but nothing can be confirmed or denied...
