I think the rule changes have created a more exciting tournament. The sending off feels a little negative due to how often it happens, and that it lead to a “by default” win. No one wants those types of outcomes. Perhaps a better way would be advancing to a penalty shot at goal, where a player can shoot undefended in either 3,2 or 1 (decided by the player)?
Would also like to see a 4th men’s team introduced to give the mens teams more games.
