What the hell?
International baseball has a new 11th inning rule for tie games.
Runners on First and Second and a batter - each side gets to decide a new batting order and selects the runners. Each team gets a turn. Can't wait for the twelveth inning - load the bases? :) |

Even pro hockey I think - the shootout is similar. I don't know - I kind of like the whole concept of ties in amateur sports - extending play just seems - wrong I guess. Pro sports - that's a different deal, although I think I could make a case for ties there also. We have a CIAC "fair play" rule here in CT that is the lamest rule ever foisted on athletes and/or athletics and, frankly, one that caused me to quit being a baseball ump/basketball&football referee and varsity highschool volleyball coach about five years ago. I won't go into the what and why, but it was obviously designed by some soccer mom who has no concept of the term competition. :) |

I like the International rules for basketball and hockey. With the players getting bigger & faster all the time, The NHL should adopt the International ice size. This might encourage smaller, fast skaters to play. |

They can in the short haul accelerate faster, but get them long legs a stretch on a big rink, big guy wins into the boards. |
