In the first game, the Bears (Wacky i believe) pulled to us and Graeme Duckworth (tells you how long ago it was) macked (?) the disc so hard it landed three quarters of the way up the pitch. Naturally, being a good natured chap, he brought the disc back to our own end-zone line.... So I think if you explicity threw out the dropped pull rule you'd have more problems not less. john __________________________________________________________________________ John Domingue | J.B.Domingue@open.ac.uk Knowledge Media Institute, Open University, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA, UK Tel. +44 1908 65-5014 (Fax -3169) | WWWeb: http://kmi.open.ac.uk/~john/
