I feel like people are playing devil's advocate. Does *anyone *actually like double goalies/think they're a positive thing? I haven't heard anyone with a positive word to say about it.
One rule to rid one rubbish tactic is a pretty good rate of returns, considering how long out ruleset is becoming. Rulesets are long in most sports I can think of. Maybe it's innate to rulesets that they are long/exhaustive/detailed/unambiguous.
We played no stopping in the 'd' at our mini tournament today. Worked a treat IMO. Hardly ever needed to be called. It pretty much just stops people setting up in that position and allows both teams to play more openly/optimistically.
We outlawed hacking because it's ugly/skilless (and damages mallets), so it's not like there's no precedent.
