Message: [QUOTE="clayman32, post: 4174755, member: 1552"] It’s a mess. I probably wouldn’t watch if cuse wasn’t good. It’s frustrating. It’d actually be quicker to list the rules they have in common The sticks have a shallow pocket. That is why Tyrrell’s goal towards the end was called off. The pocket on her stick was too deep. At least I think that’s what they called. The pockets are checked by refs after every goal. That’s why they slam the stick down after they score They have what’s called a draw control instead of a face off. It's beyond annoying. The refs have to set the ball in between the 2 girls sticks while standing. At times last year I remember it taking a minute or more to align them. They flip the ball up into the air and try to catch it. It generally seems unfair and should be rethought or just scrapped imo There are no pads. Body checking is illegal. Stick checking might as well be too. They can’t check on the hands and there’s an imaginary halo around each girl’s head that can’t be can’t be swiped near. So every girl just cradles the ball close to their head when a defender’s around 12 players instead of 10. The field is longer and wider Defensive players can draw charges, just like in basketball Players are given a yellow card for their first penalty and a red card for their second and are ejected, similar to soccer Shooting space violations are where a girl is about to shoot and a defender slides in front of them too late to try to block it. The offensive player is then given an 8 meter shot. That is unless she actually took the shot. Then it can be called a dangerous shot and she can get a penalty. That’s what happened to Cockerille when she doinked that ball off the stony brook’s player’s head. Sierra was expected to not shoot that ball even though she was practically right in front of the net. Or maybe it was because the shot was too wild? I don’t know The reffing is capricious and can greatly impact final scores There’s sooooo many more small differences that I can’t think of right now. The rules of the game could be improved sooooo much for viewers sake. But I’m not sure how the girls playing would feel about the changes [/QUOTE]
