Hey Chris no doubt about it, s-l-o-w play is the #1 cause for long games. Without a doubt. Personally I love hurry up offense (as in the shootout rules) and fast play.
I've said this before, but I'll say it again, I really love playing these rules and the timing of the game (15 boxes per quarter) is great. I think the whole shorter game clock came up in a couple games simply because we wanted to finish the season that weekend and we just didn't want to miss that opportunity. AJ was definately rushed for time so it worked well for him. Also, Matt C and I played a game on Sunday with 10 boxes quarters instead of 15 because I had to get going and we didn't want to miss our chance to play. We made it real simple...no other rule changes, just 2/3 off the game clock. I believe there were 8 total possesions and even though both of us would have prefferred the regular game length, I think it was better than not playing the game at all, you know what I mean.
