Comments on rules / refs I sent to NA Hardcourt

Again, talk to the people from London who went to the Worlds in September last year. They virtually all came back talking about how much rougher the game is in the US.

My experience at the Worlds was that it was rougher, but not so much due to bike-on-bike (Hunter Bros aside) but body on body; there was a lot more checking going on, that I assume comes from hockey. The attitude of some players seemed to be that it was okay to knock someone off their bike if it was in the course of play.
