No Offside Rule
Shiv,
I find that in most instances the NOR rule works. Particulary in the local competitions.
However, the 11 defenders in the circle is a problem when the defending team is under constant pressure.
One way to get around this I believe is to limit the number of defenders in the defensive 25 to 8 players.
This forces 3 of the defenders to hover around the 25 thus freeing up the circle to some degree.
It also has the effect in junior competitions of allowing a counter attack as there is someone available. This is a common problem in the lower club divisions where enthusiasm frequently exceeds skill levels.
The penalty should be a free hit from the position the 9th defender crossed the 25.
A short corner is possibly to harsh a penalty though it does serve to spread the defending team from goal line to half way.
The advantage of this for the umpries is the umprie from the other "end" could easily police this thus not increasing the pressure on the umpire under pressure.
As an old player who has played under the offside rule from the half way then reduced to the 25 and then no offside I find the game quicker and more open. A slight modification to the rules may once again free up the attack until the coaches work out a way to counter the rule and then once again we have to change it.
As I frequently tell my junior teams - hockey is game for thinkers so if they do not wish to think then go and play football - any code.

NOR - For the Better
I agree wholeheartedly with Ron. IThe NOR has opened up the game and forced new tactics (and counter-tactics). Too many attackers in the circle actually limits scoring opportunities. The players don't have to rush the circle - that's what they're coached to do. Let's put the onus on coaches to change their tactics rather than abusing a rule that has made hockey freer, easier to officiate and more easily understood by spectators.

Off-side
Rules for No off-side for the umpire is no good!
If years 70's to 90's not bad but now hockey is too fast!
Umpires have problem.
Old umpire can not run so faster than young umpire!
No off-side give a lot problem to umpire always runing with the ball awlways should near near the circle (same area)!
Only can be 3 umpires.
2 inside the filed one looking to TV (controling room).
Should invite TV channel focus the games!
Or
The field should bigger than now.
Use 4 umpire in the field! look like Football!
FIH can be invite more umpires during the tournament!
FIH expend a lot money for umpires and judges!
Change the field - Field company make business! not bad idea!
But no use.
Final Result is no use of no off-side!
BINGO! and Enought!
Thanks a lot!
U wellcome!

Too many inside circle!
I agree there should be a limit on how many of the defending team can enter their defensive 25 or circle. Three outside and eight inside the 25 sounds like a workable number.
