I think in some areas we are a little behind the development of the North Americans, so things like scoop shots and wrist shots were a bit of a mute point over here (for example). I also think they aren't very good at finding loop holes before they become an issue on court (there was lots of talk about how you can game the current rules when up in Edinburgh which should be addressed/thought about before it's a tactic used in a finals game, or similar)?
The NAH ruleset also has to appeal to the whims of many different scenes/styles of play so some "out there" ideas get shouted down really quickly. This is a bad thing and we shouldn't have this kind of problem (at the same scale at least) within London.
It'd be nice if we could align our ruleset with the NAH one (same established rules) but perhaps re-word some areas? We could change some Zs to Ss, use our terminology too, that kind of thing? I also think there may be areas of our game that are not covered by the NAH ruleset, we should add these bits in as we see fit?
