Hi BD This (lack of a) "delay of game" call in the WFDF rules was discussed last year here in Germany, and Steve's hypothetical situation was mooted as a comedy pitfall of the vagueness of the rules. For what it's worth though, somehow I have in my possession a *draft* copy of the WFDF Version 2007 Rules Document produced by the World Flying Disc Federation sub committee (Version .06.05.31), so there's reassurance for those who want it, that there is due to be a change sometime soon. I don't want to get bogged down/spoil the surprises (I haven't even read it myself properly yet), but having had a quick glance at it, a number of these recently-discussed issues are resolved in plain English. Couldn't see anything about a delay of game call though...
Anyway some interesting discussions going on in the last few days. Wish the German mailing list was half as productive. I try and be controversial occasionally when something gets my goat, but Wurfpost is mostly tourney invites and rides-required; the other day I tried to generate a discussion by objecting to the increasingly common usage of the term "men's" teams and tourneys, rather than "open", and the Powers That Be steered it onto a forum that nobody looks at, to keep Inboxes free... That wouldn't happen back in Blighty, would it?

Perhaps that rule does need some clarification. __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.ranulf.net/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/informed.asp
