Oh -- and I've heard JMac and TONS of others (Americans even!) talk about the non-enforcement of the time between points rule.
So you can stop shouting about that now you super intelligent non-American...
Lol, the American comment was just a bit of light hearted ribbing, I don't think Americans are stupid, quite the opposite. I am super intelligent though
.
The point is people keep coming up with all these crazy ideas to make the game "faster" when the solution is right there in front of them, just enforce the time rules and the game will speed up dramatically.
Also stop players drinking after 1-0 and 6 points in a tie breaker, that is NOT a change of ends, they should NOT be allowed to stop for a drink.
A major clamp down on CURRENT time rules would make the world of difference.
Sorry I'm not shouting, just emphasising, the only that needs to change here is enforcement, no additional rules are required.
