Rule changes for 2016
The organizers of Hockey India League have announced changes in rules for the 2016 edition. The changes put the focus firmly back on the more traditional art of scoring. The weightage for field goals will be double compared to the goals scored from penalty corners, meaning a field goal will count as two while successfully converted short corner will still be considered as one goal. It is a pilot project, and if successful, the rule might also be introduced globally.[4]
