[BD] 2008 rules

[Admin]

Hmm...
Hopefully I won't have to provide the background to every single change,
but...

Yes - this is true.

The change is driven by:
1. simplify the rules - even look for opportunities to completely remove
things!
2. speed up the game

If a pull goes straight out of bounds 20 yds up from endzone line the
receiving team already gets a great advantage - so why not keep the game
moving quickly and start from the sideline.  Also - there isn't a "middle
line", so this avoids the need for slowing down to work out where the middle
is, agree with opponent, check the disc, etc, etc.

Alternatively if the pull goes out somewhere in the area around the brick
and you want the advantage of the playing from middle of field, then just
use brick mark.  No advantage lost by going backwards a few metres.
Re-start happens more quickly because it happens from a known, marked point
on field, etc, etc.

I thought this was quite a neat idea
