Re: Why???
Steve
The short answer is that this is exactly the way NXL are doing it. My opinion about it is superfluous.

Agge, one of the things I was told when I was talking to Darryl Trent was to not even bother with sideline coaching.
He advised me to leave well alone and let someone else do it.
He deemed it more imporatnt to be with the players in the pits sorting out who's playing, what game plans to implement and so on rather than shouting out, 'He's coming, he's coming, shoot left, shoot right'.
I am gonna take his advice and let somebody else lose their voice
I will be in the dug out with me feet up, blood pressure down and my note pad on me lap
Also, the reason given for putting the coach on the other side of the field was that it prevented other members of the support crew (who can't talk directly to the players) shouting out directly to the coach (who they can talk to) and making it so loud that the players all heard anyways.
Some people were abusing the right for assistant coaches being able to talk to coaches (during game time) so they could pass messages onto the players.
Basically, it was felt that if the coach was put on the other side of the field, there would be no attempt to talk to the coach from support crew because of the distance apart and surrounding noise , that nobody would even try it.

Last time I spoke to him he was laughing about it. In effect as one of, if not THE best coach in the NXL, they put this rule in to stop some of his ability to control the game, but now he is even happier with it!
Go figure.
But he will be one of the coaches on the far side line still talking to his players from the coaching box, rather than from the staging area.
He says he can happily work with his snake guy and tape players like 'robots' and just control the joy stick, and now with less coaching from the other tape he says it has even more of an effect... On so many X-ball fields the snake and playing it, is what makes and breaks the games, so he's VERY happy to be coaching from right next to it.
Never gonna happen Pinky. There would be nothin gstoppin gthe players on the team having little receivers in their goggles, so that they could hear the coach clearer fro mthe other side of the field.
There will always be people who try and get around the rules, and radios will never be sanctioned for use.
The whole idea about moving the coaches is so that they have less of an influence on the game, so allowing the useof radios wold defeat the purpose of miving him away from the pits, to the crowd side, where the crowd will drown his voice out anyway.
That's a great field to play.
Be aware the little pillons make more difference than you would think. To quite a serious extent they split the field and what you can achieve across field. They also give you more dead space to play and consider.
If you are practicing the field before hand guys, don't forget to put something up to represent them.
Good luck to all EXL players.

Here is another one for you Steve; when we looked into the X-ball story and decided we would have a go, the cost of a field was taken into consideration.
We read on the Adrenaline pages the following:
Xball™ Pillar Kit (used only on the NXL fields) :
22 Mini Cylinders
The clue is; used only on NXL fields.
Who misunderstood?

The pillar kit is meant to be for the exclusive use of NXL and EXL. But, we have this situation. In order to accommodate up 16 teams in Open X Ball we have to have some of those games on the EXL field. Therefore Millennium has to bring in the pillar set to Open X Ball.
I'm not sure if that answers your question?
Steve
Sort of.
We saw the posibility that we had to play on EXL fields but since it said NXL only we thought we did not need it.
I am just concerned that we will need to buy two fields a season to be able to compete, and we all know that it is getting expensive, even with help from sponsors. ( at least for us )
