I like the rest of the rule changes and think the alliance captains not being able to pick each others makes things more exciting for all of the teams involved.
Hello All,

We actually conversed with the Head Ref from KC Regional and really thought hard about this one. But after our discussions and finding out that the Refs have to actually click on multiple items on the FMS screens for the possessions it is actually easier on them to have the zones due to the fast pace of how the passing happens. This does allow the Refs to focus on each zone independently of each other. Hope this helps and cant wait to see everyone in a few weeks.

Oh yeah, we upped the teams to 50, so there will be 2 more teams joining us all. Just waiting on replies from each of the first couple on the wait list. We will surely update everyone once we know as well.
