Good idea Chris.
An extension of the system where the stronger team has to force 2 or more
turnovers before they get possession of the disc is to give the weaker team a
supply of free turnovers they can use up during the game. So if you turnover
you can call 'freebie' and you get the disc back, and your team can only do this
say 10 or 15 times during the game. Then you might get situations where you
save up all your turnovers for the end of the game for a massive comeback, or
you only use them up on turnovers just outside the zone....Quite how you work
out how many freebies to give a team I'd leave up to Shipley (S) and the other
stattos amongst you.
