Heck, it could be about counting the value of a pile of coins. My virtual money is on "change" referring to nothing mentioned in any CD post, including this one.
I can definitely see what you mean, that the hint could simply be change. "Change is coming" could mean less that there is a fundamental change in the rules, and more that there will be a change in something in every match, or even both. I like the idea some people have proposed that there will be two game pieces. To take it another step, what if there was one game piece at the start of the match, then halfway through, as pieces are scored, instead of those pieces being returned to the field, new, different ones are put on in their place? That would make for both a major fundamental change, and change within each match.
