Dirty Player adjustment.

Hi all,
I recently ran a big resurrection style tournament - and dirty players had a big impact on the tournament.
Generally, the new (4.5th ed.) rules were a big hit - but DP is definately up for a change around these parts.

This is my (fairly simple) solution:
+1 to the reff roll if the fouler used a DP bonus.

This will mean that it isn't allways "best" to use your DP to foul.

As an aside, we also found a change to Get the Ref warranted. DPs could completely dominate games with GtR. We are currently using this rule for GtR: GtR gives a +2 bonus to argue the call rolls.

Alternatively, one might let GtR give a +1 bonus to the ref roll, just like DP fouls above.

I kinda like this.

The main problem is that there is already too many rules for fouling. Some people say ... :roll: KISS for BB. Personnaly I like this new rules, but NAF commitee have to clean all these fouling rules.

I think fouling is one of those areas you have to adjust to suit your needs. In our league we haven't seen the need for any changes but it's good to see people making these tweaks instead of complaining that fouling is broken :)
