William - Hmm ... it also takes away the option of intentionally double teaming when the player you're marking gets within 3 metres of the disc - you have to be closely guarding your opponent. To answer your question - hopefully it will get rid of those annoying walls, never liked em anyways :-)
I doubt the UKU will modify the rules to account for it, also I think the average indoor pitch size is slowly creeping upwards which should make it less relevant ... Thomas - My guess is that it's because they are technical turnovers, and therefore play stops due to a violation of the rules ... I'm undecided whether I think it's good or not ... anyone else?
