Poor Man's Balance

OKAY!!!!

I watched the VCU regional...and was alarmed at what they were using as the defintion of balancing. Basically refs were going on the field and if they could stick thier hand under the ramp it was consider off the ground and balanced....I'm sorry but this is _NOT BALANCED_. I believe that this rule should be modified so that teams truly have to balance and none of this poor man's balancing act.

Secondly, Let's get rid of the time multipliers. Sute mid-season...y not!!! They take away _a lot_ from the excitement aspect of this game. Without them teams would be forced to think and to make intelligent plays, balance, stuff that we actually want to see. No one like to watch a match where the power comes on, teams book it to the end zone and turn it off...I'm sorry but that is just plain boring.

Lastly, this is just a personal observation. I watched the finals @ VCU on NASATV and I've read that accounts of Michigan and Long Island. And the drastic distirbution amazes me. We have teams consitenly scoring in the 400 range and a 620 in the finals. VCU's highest score was like 250 and they had a 36 point match in the FINALS!!! Pretty amazing stuff.

Congrats to all the teams out there...and Food 4 thought.
