5 Rule Changes

1.) If you are taller than the offensive player, you cannot take a charge.

2. ) If you are going to take a charge, you must be set before the offensive player is airborne.

3.) Foreigners cannot take charges, ever. If they do a technical is immediately administered.

4.) The “Egregious Flop” is a new violation. The Egregious Flop is to be defined as an overtly obvious flop. If two Egregious Flops are committed by a player in a single game, he is ejected and suspended for the following game.

5.) Head coaches can administer “strikes” to referees after horribly officiated games. Each head coach can give 3 strikes during the regular season and 1 strike during the playoffs. These strikes are to be counted throughout the season. The referee that has accumulated the most strikes at the season's end is to be fired. If a referee gets a strike from both coaches for the same game, he is suspended for 30 days without pay and must wear a scarlet S for the rest of the season, which obviously stands for “SUCKS.”
