I think one of the key points backing Celia up is that Indoors is often played by occasional players of the game, and people who don't always read every Britdisc email. Therefore it needs a strong message to be put out by TD's in tournaments to get people playing the new rule. We did it at Great Barr, and most of the people played it successfully, and it lead to a bit more thought.

I understand the logic behind the decision and supported it as what you felt was right for the tournament. But I believe that the only way everyone is going to learn the new rules is if they are played at all events rather than the half way house we appear to be in. They were used at Damme Slamme successfully and then backed out again. There's been a lot of communication. I would now like to see us get on and use them. Thanks, Celia.

We did not enforce the new indoor rules - the reason was simple: No one new them!!! Of all the players in the tournament only a couple actually new and understood the new rules. To make things fairer across the board we decided to not enforce them. This was supported by all the teams and was stated in the captains meetings. I believe these rules need to have a more successful communication so all players are aware, currently they are still unknown by a number of players. Matt TD Women National Indoors -----Original Message----- From: Graham McGill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 January 2006 23:02 To: [email protected] Subject: [BD] RE: New indoor rules One of the women on my team was playing for Swift at Womens Indoor Nationals this weekend. She mentioned at our indoor practice tonight that she dropped a pull at one point and when she went to pick it up her opposition told her it was a turnover. Were the new indoor rules not being played or just not being enforced? I wasn't there so I don't know if this was an isolated incident, or if the old rules were in effect, I'm just curious. Would anyone who knows more than me care to comment? Seeing as we went to all the trouble of sorting out the new rules and all!
