In my view the level of physicality/dick move-ing at the worlds wasn't greater than what we get on european tournaments.
What was nice, to be perfectly honest, was to see games NOT stopped by over-zealous refs to chastise players. People got sent in the box a few times, when it was really justified, and everyone was fine with it. But had Bill been on the referee seat, games would have been halted over and over again, which IMO isn't necessarily better.
