Re: IRI - Dates, Info and Rule Ideas

Here are my rule change suggestions, I would not implement all of them, as some of them are contradictory, but each on their own should enhance the game in a different way. I really support the first one.
  • make the co-op bridge be worth 10 pts for a balance in eliminations. This way it is still better off to triple but would only be a 10pt difference if you got a double + the coop. Also this would be really exciting action for 2 alliances that can't triple. fight over the bridge at the end or score those last few points.
  • put more balls on the field, Increase the number of balls from 18 to 24-36, should increase the scores in the matches and will take away starvation choke hold strategies. You can accomplish this by either putting them on the bridges or allowing teams to pre-load 3.
  • Allow triple balancing during the qualification rounds, if a team does it they get 1 extra coop point (3 total for the winners)
  • Go back to the old ranking system where win-loss-tie determines the main ranking and then use co-op points as the tiebreaker.
