Per Tom:
1) The Hooch is now worth 11 points, as opposed to 10. Thus, making it slightly more valuable then holding a swing flag for an entire period.
*The Hooch no longer offers rejuves, just points. NO BODIES.
2) At the coin flip at the beginning of the game, the winner can pick to choose a side of the field, or ONE BODY. Previous years they were awarded two bodies. The team that does not choose the side of the field gets the body.
*UWL games now only have 1 extra body possible, as opposed to 4.
3) The team who receives the rejuve at the coin flip will be given one arm band of a different color. They must take this arm band to their dead box ref and give it to him. During the game, when a player is shot out and wants to rejuve, he must return to the dead box and receive this different colored arm band.
*The hope is that it will deter some dishonest rejuves.
4) There will now be a "Live Box" on the field. In the past, teams could set out their extra markers, tanks, pods, etc. around the dead box. If a live player was low on supplies, he could run back to the outside of the dead box and reload. The problem is that teams tended to have dead men talking, relaying information, or handing out extra pods to live players. To avoid this the UWL has begun to set out LIVE BOXES (the size of a cooler roughly), perhaps 20 feet away from the dead box. Live players can then run back and get their extra supplies out of this box, should they need it in the game, keeping them away from the Dead Box.
5) There have been questions about padding. Padded vests you wear under packs or clothing are not acceptable. However, jerseys with padding stitched into them is okay. In Tom's words, "if it's NPPL or PSP legal, it's UWL legal."
6) Rocket Launchers - 3 rockets max per insertion. Unused rockets do not roll over to the next insertion.
I don't know of any other changes yet.
