PROPOSED =RFL= RULEBOOK CHANGES:
These should improve the quality of play, and make it fair for the teams that prepare for the games.
PROPOSED RULE 1 - Lagging Penalty
Lagging has been an issue in the playoffs. To fix that, if someone is lagging the ref IMMEDANTLY stops play and calls the lagging fowl. The penalty is 5 yards. If a team lags 3 times, the penalty is 10 yards for that and every time after.
PROPOSED RULE 2 - Team Min. Requirements.
During this =RFL= seasons, teams that only have a few players are ‘filled out’ by other teams players. While this is fine (and sometimes necessary), it’s not fair for a team to bring all of its own players and loose to another team that only has 1 original player. To fix this a team must have 2 active players at the game or they # ## # # the Playoffs, a team must have 3 players but one has to be the teams coach. If a team doesn’t have enough players, that’s the coaches fault since there is plenty of Free Agents.
PROPOSED RULE 3 - Pace of Play
I’m not including a rule that would fix Pace of Play (POP) but something has to be done about it. Possibilities include 4 min quarters, 5 min quarters with the clock not stopping in the final 1 min of each Quarter except for timeouts and scores or change of possession, A 15 sec play clock instead of the current 24 second clock, or simply getting rid of the clock and using a first-to-X amount of points system (not recommended).
If you agree with these proposed rules, say ‘I second these’. Let’s Help make the =RFL= even better!
