 Changes in the rules of ringo

Dear Friends!
First, I wish you a Merry Christmas and very happy New Year, connected with strong healt, great successes in your professional work and prive life.
Second, I inform you about changes in the rules of ringo game accepted in 1 September 2007 by the Executive Board of International Ringo Federation on the Meeting in Warsaw. The general idea of the changes was to bring the ringo game nearer to the tendenz which is typical for all sport games in the world - more dynamical play without pauses (stop). After many years ringo development we return to the rules which was typical for this play many years ago - after catch the ringo the sportman must immediately throw it to his oponent. The principle is called "hot ringo". The year 2006 was a time for disccussion and experimental introduction this idea in practice in Poland and some others coutries. The experimental results was very possitiv and the play after this change was more dynamical. That was a ground for acceptation this not new idea. The new rules must be respect on all competitions organised after rules of IRF beginning from 1 January 2008 and especcialy strong on championship competitions.
With the best wishes to you and your family.
