How many events?
How many teams? (And what happens to the teams that want to play but can't get in?) Do we need to create a whole interlinking regional and local structure too?
Independent officiating and oversight?
How bout strict guidelines for sponsor involvement in supported teams?
The list isn't endless but it's long so if you expect this to get done before 2007 contribute your ideas now.
I'd like to see true semi if the technology can be developed to ensure it occurs. It's a skill to shoot fast while moving, and I think players need to develop it rather than having technology do it for them. It's not
that hard to learn to do!
As for format, I believe a point system will prevail over a flag system. Maybe just a button at the other end of the field that needs to be pushed to score the point?
I'd like to see 6 or 7 man rather than 5, only because I think it takes more to succeed with more players. 7 man requires teamwork and a plan, and from a spectator perspective you can often see plays develop and be excecuted on the field. I think that's exciting to see unfold from the stands rather than a bunch of bunkering....
I'm thinking back to 300FPS (derder) over any of the really well done Traumaheads, 360, etc. I played both videos in my retail store and many parents (read that as potential viewers on TV) got bored after a few minutes of watching Derder, but they'd sit down to watch the Traumahead-style games in their entirety.
With regard to leagues, I think we need to get major players from around the world (not necessarily ballers, but influential peeps like Serj, Laurent, Robbo, Youngblood, etc.), say 10-15 of them, and develop a standard format for the game. Once the format is agreed on, let each country worry about it's own leagues.
A World Cup style event should be held once a year where the top teams from each league in each country attend to decide who is the best in the world. Base the number of teams each country can send on the number of teams that play the leagues, with a cap on it for the US since we have more teams than any other country?
Reffing should be standardized worldwide. I don't think any country can support an independent ref organization except the US, but I'd like to see it happen.
Obviously this is off the top of my head thinking, so please don't bash me to hard....my head is a bit soft.
