When mucking about in friendlies, nope. But you know these tournaments can
get plenty serious ;-) And it seemd to me that at the next LegOz we will
not be short on bods, so refs shouldn't be too hard to come by. The main
thing you want a ref for is sorting out goals when one of the forwards gives
it a good roost - did it go in or did it not?

Hey hey, be picky to your heart's content! Whatever floats your boat.
What's the difference in this case between a rotation about the centre and a
reflection through the centre?

I guess, but all that player moving about must slow it down some, no?
Conscious too that for someone to have a field of whatever size, they will
have enough of the sprung bases. All you really need to be a captain is to
bring along a team with eleven players. I doubt fields are going to be a
major problem. Your idea would allow for much more realistically sized
fields, and make the game a lot more strategic. Anyone bought four or five
fields and put them all together yet?

Unfair? If you are familiar with the field, you don't get to place your guys
first. The 'away player' gets to place his man first. And then the home
captain kicks off the first half and the away player kicks off for the
second half. Seems to me we're balancing a minor strategic advantage in the
familarity with the field against the opportunity to make a minor strategic
initiative in placing the first guy. This is unfair because.....?
Better ideas......?

I like the idea of weapons appropriate to the team, you know, cutlasses for
pirates, muskets for privates. Obviously there might be some difficulty
with that approach if someone wants to bring along a team from the Global
Thermonuclear Weapons Repository. Have to think this one through a little
more......
