New rules!!


New 2013 rules are out: http://rules.wfdf.org/. These will be the rules used for all leagues in Brisbane henceforth. BUDA has decided to take this opportunity to improve rules knowledge and education within our community.

The new year and looking forward will see some rules action from BUDA. There's nothing more frustrating than an on field argument generated because not everyone is up-to-date with the latest version of rule 18.2.3.1 (that's the travel rule for those who aren't as myself - and Timocles). 

This will primarily take the  form providing extra resources to players and rules accreditation for some players, which will be phased in for all leagues in brisbane. WFDF rules accreditation (and all kinds of fun rules stuff) here if you want to get a head start: http://rules.wfdf.org/. 

Details will come soon, but before that there are some decisions to be made about how we do this (how many people? when? how often? just captains? etc...). To help us make these decisions, BUDA would like your help! To that end we invite  feedback and participation from the ultimate community.   

If you're interested in being a part of a "rules sub-committee" that helps to determine how we apply this in Brisbane, please email me at: meganbarnes84@gmail.com, or post on the facebook page. I would very much like reps from a broad cross-section of players. Exceptional rules knowledge (or willingness to acquire it!) required. I have already had some interest, but we wanted to make sure that everyone that has the opportunity to participate.  

Intelligent feedback and suggestions are very welcome, but please note that any commentary you provide should be written in such a way that it can be shared with the ultimate community, and that this is not a forum for whinging about past incidents.
