Fine, I didnt read thorougly the Tuck's post... had in mind my own thing. Thanks for correction Atapene. Still, the liberal approach to subbing should be implied in my view. In Tuck's proposal the solution is to allow maximum number of seconds - eg. 3 sec with less than 4 players on the outside. Simple & clear rule, even for refferees that have trouble thinking for themselve.

Carol, Its clear to me that I mixed US with someone else, and I did wrote "story" so, I'm sorry to drop T-shirts on you. Still, I dont see the need to outlaw the best looking glove. I do a lot of reffereeing, and let me tell you, that Mareh's original glove did not make anyone a problem over here, and there is really a lot of players wearing them now. Anyway, its your countryman that has to wear them in different colour. You know, for the right price, Mareh is able to make them in US national flag colour... but then again... you got red in it. I wonder how would Chineese feel about restriction on red colour, if they would be playing uwh..... or do they already play?

Atapene, about too many bodies underwater.... good luck on 1.9 meters in Durban. I try to stay out, if the game is anywhere near 2 meters. Too much chaos and too many bodies not only on the bottom, but anywhere in the water. Fortunatly we have only one session where half of the playing area is on 2 meters... thats the only place where I get hurt. Good luck to refferees too, dirty game is so easilly hidden. But then, you're right about one thing - it cant be as bad as Bari regarding refs...
