But aren't some rules used in a certain geographical area first, as a test bed? NF could say to Oregon "here, test this rule. We think that a 50-year testing period is needed. Get back to us in 50 years."

Well, fear and surprise would come before THAT.

Anyone heard any rumors of what was discussed over the weekend? Just wondering what we can expect. Should be coming out in the next couple days hopefully.

Allegedly, but I've never talked to anyone who's played, coached, or officiated under those experimental rules. That may not mean much of anything, though.

I remember in or around 1989 when Dick Schindler (I think that was his name) who was then the rules editor came to our state meeting and spoke. We had several rule changes that year and he said that the rules had already been played in "thousands" (if I remember right) of games. Whether he said "thousands" or not, I remember it was a bunch. I never got any clarification on where these experiments took place or under what circumstances.
