Re: Rule change suggestions for MARC 2010

A few guidelines:
  • The rule change will not change the fundamentals of the game
  • The rule change will not be any more restrictive than the current rule
  • The rule change must be enforceable. It cannot make a situation harder to interpret or call. It must work with the field and scoring system. (So sorry, no change to DOGMA.)
  • The rules to be changed are only those in Section 7, The Game. Rules in other sections of the manual will not be addressed.

Let us know what you think.
I don't know if you think this is considered working with the field and scoring system, but 2 ideas from the MARC thread:

1. 1 different point value soccer ball (so when scored, the team will get X number of points instead of one.

2. Make autonomous balls scored count for more points.

I'm not sure how MARC is going to be run, but if there is a person counting each goal, then the final score will be accurate, so that would reduce the automatic counting problem.

Just an idea.
