The Brisbane Hockey Association (BHA) has a rule (from season 2019) that all Semi-Finals, Preliminary Finals and Grand Finals are decided, in the event of a draw at normal full time, by the 8-second shoot-out.
The Brisbane Masters sub-committee is seeking your opinion with the following quick survey (going to all database members) re the semi and preliminary finals

You can choose either YES to agree to Shoot-outs, or NO to agree to "highest on ladder" progresses.
If you wish, you may also leave a comment on the form.

Conversation between two parents watching a junior hockey game:
P1: “Which one is your lad?”
P2: ”Why?”
P1: “I wanted to tell him how rubbish he is.”
P2: “You can’t say that. He’s only a kid. How would you like it if I said that to your child?”
P1: “You’ve done it all game.”
P2: “Why, who’s your kid?”
P1: “The umpire.”
The task of umpiring would be easier if we players did not make so many errors. And say too much!
