NEW - Fridays are now Mulligan Mode:
It's a friendly Friday of fun play, where we are seeing more and more ascending players working on their game (which is awesome!) blended with our usual gang of talented Funksters.
In an effort to help foster a welcoming environment where players on all points of their development arc can easily blend together, we're trying a little rules tweak to alleviate stress and encourage the mix.
Here's the trick we're trying:
Teams get 5 Mulligans each game for technical ball handling violations.
If a player joins the draw who has come from a pond where the fishies haven't been taught the correct Intermediate rules of ball handling - proper hand sets, proper open hand defense, etc - it can be really tough to learn without feeling completely lost, costing a team points.
It can also be frustrating for a team playing by the rules to watch this happen.
So, a team gets 5 Mulligans for ball handling calls.
Our hope is that skills that need sharpening are not rewarded with points but neither do they cost a team points.
When we have a player struggling to understand new ball handling rules, play is stopped, the violation is tactfully explained, and the point is played over.
There's no penalty but also no reward, and play does not degenerate or suffer in quality.
We're trying - trying to find compromises that welcome new players aspiring to learn while preserving quality play.
Help us make this a way to create a very cool environment for player development.
