C'mon Chris... 1) a completed pass into the endzone the receiver is attacking, and therefore a score. Just ignore which team threw the pass! (some American college kids came up with this one, so go ask them...) 2) Anyone can through the disc into the ground - there's a lot of it around. It takes a special skill to throw the disc to a defender in your own endzone! 3) I note your comment is from the throwers perspective. Try it from the point of view of the defender making the catch... (and I'm not thinking of the Batchelor school-of-D !!!) I thought it sounded like fun, too, but Roger never quite got around to making it a one-off Winter League rule :( Wayne ---------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Retter mobile: 07970-903420 w.retter@bigfoot.com office: 01737-273655
