If you could add any new rule to a sport or game you enjoy, what rule and why?

Something I'd like to see on every hard cap league is a cap relief calculation for team drafted players, going up the later that player was drafted. Maybe 5% per found, maybe 7.5%?
So many times teams are basically forced to move on from role players that are fan favorites because it's literally impossible to pay a team of veterans under the cap unless you have no star players and I think it would be genuinely interesting to provide a benefit on the cap side to keeping drafted players in house past their first or second deals. Part of why it's so hard to be a fan is knowing that anyone but the absolute TOP stars are just consistently going to be moving on in a few seasons.

In basketball, you must always have two limbs touching the ground when you have the ball, unless you are standing, shooting, or jumping. Why? I don't like basketball and think it would be funny as he'll.

Basketball: sooo boring but if you made it like street hoops…
Just bringing back the 90's rules would make the game a lot better since it would bring back better defense.

The beer is priced high to keep from having to deal with a critical mass of drunken idiots. No one gets wasted on $16 beer.
I know, but even $8 for a Budweiser is a lot. $16 is egregious.

- Bowlers with wide “open” actions naturally plant their back foot outside the return crease to maintain alignment.
Forcing them inward (to stay within the return crease) alters hip and shoulder alignment.
Bowlers may adjust their run-up angle or foot landing to stay legal which is bad for em too.
Banning t20i is impossible and ridiculous! I know many dont like it, me included, bilaterals in particular. But its unnecessary, impossible and brings barely any benefit
YES. IVE BEEN HARPING ABOUT REMOVING AFGHANISTANS TEST STATUS FOREVER!
Players should absolutely have the right to play what they want! Unless they are centrally contracted. In which case, do your job
Is it possible to have such an action as a fast bowler? I associate the wider action with spin, which, as previously mentioned, tends not to be associated with injuries.

Soccer: yellow card for faking injuries
Yellow card for simulation is already a rule. It's just not applied all that consistently, possibly because it's very hard to be sure that someone definitely wasn't fouled and also was deliberately feigning anything, as opposed to genuinely being hurt or at least being knocked over by a nonetheless fair challenge.
Microphoned ref is becoming a thing now, but I absolutely hate it. Just like VAR it slows the game down horrendously and is not needed. Refs have the tools they need to run the game (including hand gestures and red cards, as you said). They don't need to explain every last thing verbally.
I've maintained that for VAR, if they can't figure out if there's a mistake in the call within 30s then just uphold the prior decision. I can't think of many situations where this would be enough of an issue

At the same time that would just make luck the deciding factor. Noone knows if a draftee will be good. So whoever gets lucky and drafts that good player or two gets to ride that wave as long as they can play.

Baseball: no more home runs. If it goes out of the park it's a foul. It will force a much more dynamic infield game and get rid of boring ass pop flys.
Edit: exception for grand slams because that shit is pretty exciting.
I say a home run is an out. Really put the pressure on them.
I would also make it easier to hit, there are a variety of ways to do that. Might have to allow an extra outfielder though. But the idea is to make it less of a pitcher vs hitter game. Make fielding matter, cause that skill ahs really gone down the tubes the last few decades. -

American football
I would remove defensive pass interference from the game. It’s been abused by offenses, they just throw it up to the guy way down field and if anyone touches him, first down there.
I would also get rid of the QB slide rule so many abuse for extra yards. You have the ball? You can get hit.

I'd remove the size constraint on darts, so you could choose to use a lawn dart on your last turn, for example, to score 6352 points.

All sports have an alternative league where performance enhancing drugs are mandatory to participate. That's way more fun.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I’ll agree on the defensive pass interference, as long as we have it where if it’s over the top egregious holding then that isn’t allowed.
Otherwise the pass game would be dead

I'm not super into sports so I don't know what the best specific rule to deal with this would be, but there needs to be more accountability for bad calls from referees.

I wouldn't go with "mandatory" but no doping tests would be quite something!

I'm all in for crazy hockey. Boosters, bumpers, multipuck, moving goals, tilting ice, pucks made of different materials, sticks made of different materials, boxing gloves appear at centre ice giving the player who grabs them 30 second free pass for roughing.
Can we just finally have rocket skates on bigger rinks? Put some ramps in it and you've got full rocket league.

As someone who is forced to watch baseball by their fanatical wife: the MLB should adopt most of the rules that the Savannah Bananas use, including a fan catching a foul ball counts as an out, trick plays, inning timer, etc.
Also stilts.

Baseball: Strictly timed innings.
The Savanna Bananas added a game timer, and it is great.

MMMMMMMULTIBALLLLLLL
Any sport, doesn't really matter. Periodically during the game more balls start getting added into the playing field to spice things up, a la pinball tables.
Tennis, Football, Volleyball, Baseball, Basketball etc etc

imagining the absolute chaos that would result if an announcer shouted out "MULTIPUCK!" and extra pucks rained down on an NHL game
I'm for this.

edit: Never mind, apparently that's a myth
