With the balljoint/pass rule, please make sure all refs and goal-refs consistently see all balljoints, call them and have the same definition of 'pinning the ball'. Some refs in Berlin went out of their way to say those little side-to-side flicks count as balljoints and some said they weren't. Most goal-refs cannot see the other end of the court well enough to know if someone has pinned the ball or not.
Gormley won't always be there to clear up such matters.
