As far as shooting the ball off the field, it should only be a penalty if there is intent.

I did also see many balls getting accidentally kicked out which is not a penalty unless it was clearly aimed to go out. But, I completely agree with your statement about bumper colors...the rule should be much better enforced.
It is frustrating because our team made two sets because we did not want to get a penalty for having ANY contrasting color showing. But that rule apparently does not matter. Oh well!
