1. Get rid of zones. If all three robots POSSESS a ball during a cycle anywhere on the field, that's three assists.

2. Change the definition of POSSESSION (for an alliance's own ball) to any contact with the ball where a partnering robot isn't also contacting the ball. The definition of POSSESSION of an opponent's ball would remain the same.
I agree with both of these. It makes the game easier to ref, yet doesn't completely change the way tlut is played. It also makes it easier to get partners more involved.
