Voting 2014

Here is where you can voice your opinion for 2014 changes. The wording of these polls is NOT how the exact rule will be written, but rather they are put in plain language so we can get a general idea of what the community would like to see next year.

These polls are only used unofficially, but in the future there will be a formal voting system in place for rules changes and more.

Rules Changes for 2014

SHOOTING
What should count as a goal?

HIGH STICKING
How should we define High Sticking?

GAME FORMAT
Tournament games should follow which format?

THE JOUST
Where should players line up to joust?

THE CREASE
The addition of a crease to the area of play around both goals on the court stands to serve two purposes. The first is that it allows us to define a “goaltender” and allows us to prevent physical contact onto this player from offensive players. The second purpose would be to eliminate the use of a “double goalie” in bike polo, a defensive maneuver in which a team jams the area in front of the net. The addition of a crease can address the first or both of these issues, depending on the size of the space.

BALL JOINTING
Should ball jointing be allowed in the offensive half?

ARM CONTACT
Should arm extension be regulated?

INTERFERENCE
Should off-ball contact be regulated?
