I just read this entire stupid thread. Sadly, I was forced to waste as much time as you all did in practices it seems. There is about 4 relevant posts in this thread and the rest are the same sad story/comments repeated over and over. Please if you are going to post a serious thread try to post relevant information rather than repeating the same thing that was in the first couple of posts over and over again.
As for the situation, it's not a very hard concept. Get some refs like we used to have, I'm sure there are 5-6 active people who can take on this role without abusing it. We aren't children any more. If it's 3v1 or 4v1 and the score is like 11-4 the majority of us can tell who MAY possibly have a chance to win based on opponents and who can't possibly win. If it's 3v1 11-4 and there is 10 minutes left, lets face it, this game can just end now. If a player is not engaging, end it, this is easy to tell. Sitting back and lobbing and then running if the enemy drives towards you is not considered engaging. Yes, it's a judgement call when people are engaging or not, but there are plenty of situations where people are "engaging" where the game can just be ended regardless.
This entire discussion is ridiculous. How many times have topics like this been brought up? Either do something about this, or just remove the engaging garbage from the rules. How many times must we have the same stupid discussions with nothing ever happening? If nothings going to happen then everyone should stop posting this nonsense. If something is going to change, then hurry up and change it.
