I admire the way you guys disuss the rules and take it seriously.
The thing is, after having played my first "important" games in Paris this week-end, that sometimes it's more a battle than a game, and that only two guys, Max and Marc, were able to ref' these... In many games, even totally clear mallet slashing weren't called. (who was called for slashing?)
In our game against DR, Luca's bodychecks and forearms pushings were always "safe" and regular. When we played against SB, we thought that one or two cheks came from blindside, and were dangerous. The second one was called with a double tap-out.
For us, playing for the first time in top ten euro games, it was pretty new, and maybe we (mostly I, I got mad a few times, my apologies to everyone I could have yelled at) did'nt manage this ideally. But the fact is, at the end of the tournament, we asked ourselves if we have to "ignore" a little the rules to reach the top of big tournaments.
Finally the answer was no, because we also saw some very clean and impressive games (Edisons, l'Equipe, Hooks).
So, I think that, first of all, we have to reward a lot good ref's, and try to give huge incentives to reffing. Reffing is as important (if not more than) as the quality of the courts, which are pretty expensive.
