this new rule

[regulate34]

hey whats with the new rule that your team can not come one the floor and the beggining and end of periods i think that that is the dumbes rule ever

[Buccaneers lax]

it makes it so that people wont get into fights and what not, and you only have to wait on the bench for like 20 seconds. they said its a game misconduct if you go on the floor (which is stupid) although ive seen people go on the floor and only get warnings more then once in one game so i dont think they will inforce it much.

[regulate34]

yea its is stipid but every year they put in new rules that make the game less ruff and less like it usta be it sucks i rember when their was not 24foot crese and you could hit anywere

[judge death]

Actually this rule is used in the OLA and in Alberta. BC is just finally joining the rest of the CLA. The 24ft line was used untill i believe the 80's so in actuallity we are just reverting to the original way.

That 24 foot dotted line hitting rule is their but I dont think anything has changed cause in my games everyone just smokes any one, anywhere and the refs dont seem to care. yah the bench rule is stupid.

[regulate34]

seriously in all the years i have played box i have never seen a fight after the period was over (like what their are tring to prevent) i have seen some pushing and smack talk but you can talk smack from your bench anaways plus its a nusence haveing to wait to get called on the floor like say you goalie has a sick period and you want to go and congradulate him so you jump on the floor and go down to him and you get a stupid game misconduct

[Hooligan]

I've seen fights happen anytime. End of the period is just another time when they can happen. You won't see this rule implemented much, its more of a preventative measure.

i have referreed lacrosse for many years, I tell you this, one incident can change many rules and sometimes not for the better
