In my opinion the rule 14.2 approved for 2013 (the same as it was during the discussion period) “Propelling the Jack is counted as part of a side’s time allocation”, is the same as from 1 January 2014, on the side turn of playing the jack? What is the difference of playing 7 balls (jack included) in 6 minutes or playing 6 balls in 5 minutes plus the jack in 1 one minute?
This means that the rule approved for 2013 (the same as it was on the draft version of BISFed website) already include the rule approved for 2014 on. The difference is that in 2013 there is a difference between a side playing the jack and a side not playing the jack. The time used is the same to play 7 or 6 balls. From 2014 on the time will be the same for both sides playing the 6 balls and there is 1 minute to play the jack, which more fair and consistent.
