3. The winner of the pre-game Rock, Paper, Scissors match may choose EITHER the opponent to throw against OR the side they would like to throw at. Rationale: RPS skill should be rewarded with best strategic opportunity. With the introduction of the 'switch ends' rule, the RPS winner could now make important choices that could effect match momentum.
4. Outdoor carpeting will be installed on the bottom of the pits. Rationale: it is thought that carpeting will decrease the frequence of 'good' throws that bounce out of the box.
