This is the wrong place to agitate for rule changes
SOMEONE START A NEW THREAD! Although i may not particpate, this video thread is the main reason i look at LFGSS, even though Rik has one of these threads on pretty much every polo forum out there ;-)
Hockey?
Hockey has a two minute interference penalty.
As far as screening goes. If someone blocks my path to the ball, to a pass, to going to my goal, by physically placing there body in my path, i feel i'm justified in un-blocking them.
Most definitely. With our current ruleset, if you're blocking someone's path to get to the ball or the player with the ball, then you're essentially playing the ball, and therefore you should expect to be "safety buffered". I caught a few people by surprise in Toulouse with my own safety buffers.

All that said, if we can't get a rule on this, then we should require big courts (40m or more long, 18m or more wide). You're hard pressed to find interference as a central strategy on big courts.
