If you could pick one thing in sports that you could vote for and it would alter the game (in a not totally game breaking fashion), what would it be? I think I'd like to be able to vote for a baseball team to have to play the first inning with two outfielders.
What if nba teams polled their fans regarding front office decisions decisions and they actually listened? Fans could vote and actually veto trades if they didn't like them
Hahaha it literally is. What these guys didn't understand is "attack mode" aka "party mode"/"full beans" in formula racing is when the car goes as fast as possible irregardless of fuel or tire wear that may occur. "Party mode" or "full beans" is way more confusing than attack
I mean, the attack mode boost lasts for several minutes after going over the strip instead of just one second like in mario kart. It actually was a really great addition to formula e imo. Adds a big element of race strategy that was left missing with the removal of pit stops.
Weird rule suggestion: In Aussie Rules football, they used to have a rule where playoff games could end in ties and if they did, they would have to come back the next week and replay the whole game which pushed the entire playoffs back a week. They finally changed this in the early 1990s by implementing overtime, but only because of it affecting the scheduling of future playoff games. Because of that being the reasoning, they determined the Grand Final could still end in a draw which it did in 2010 between Collingwood and St. Kilda which forced them to replay it the next week. They didn't implement overtime for the Grand Final until 2016.
That rule also exists in the English FA Cup (a football/soccer tournament). It's a single elimination tournament, first of all. Any games before the semifinals that end in a tie will be replayed. It doesn't necessarily push the schedules back, but it creates fixture congestion.
@@romiarkan450 They moved that back to quarterfinals recently. All ties from the quarterfinals on are one-offs with extra time and penalties as needed.
This rule also existed in Japanese professional baseball for years(abolished for professional baseball after 2000, but still exist in high school), if game tied in 15 innings, you have to replay the full game, until a winner is decided.
@@elvistwatty That was bad as a semi-successfully fixed race, but its far from the "Worst" of 6 cars gridding, 5 cars losing the lead in the last laps at Monaco in 1982, Imola 1994, multiple races where a race was attempted or not stopped despite 0 visibility conditions (Adelaide 1989, Japan 2015).
I think a lot of people totally miss the point of the “attack mode” thing because Formula E has, admittedly, marketed it awfully. The whole point of attack mode is that they force you to take a decidedly SLOWER (or harder) route through a portion of the track in exchange for an advantage elsewhere in the track that the driver chooses when to use. It’s strategic
The recent NASCAR Playoff system where you win one race and that's it, you are in the playoffs! So there are 36 races, playoffs starts on the 26th race so if you win the very first race basically all the other 25 races don't matter. Stupid as hell
@@makedragon Or Hell, The fact that if you start the race in the car, you get credit for the win. You can do One (1) lap, pit and swap to another drvier, and if the car wins, you get the win.
@@yes9421 true. I've never seen it really matter all that much in a race. I do like attack mode though, it's a good tradeoff between speed and track position which replicates the pit stop with cars that don't need to make one.
Fan boost was used in the earlier seasons to go after the fastest lap, which was an extra point. I believe one of the first champions won because he used fan boost in the final race to get the fastest lap.
Some suggestions for weird rules: Wilt Chamberlains Dunking free throws Rugby Union penalty shootout (Cardiff vs Leicester 2009) Rugby League, Using your Head to move the ball (1990/91 St Helens (34) vs Sheffield Eagles (17))

The worst Indycar engine manufacturer (Lotus 2012) Beef history of Valentino Rossi vs Max Biaggi Rewinder of that Macau GP when Dan Ticktum won on the last corner because the two guys in front of them crashed into the outside wall (forgot the year) Collapse of various entire racing series we used to love that no longer exists (various F3 series, Group B rallying, etc)

So this has been the best episode of Weird Rules to date. Just two hip cats on a smoke break, staring at a weird rule that doesn't do anything staggering, and shooting the breeze into absurdity
100% would love MLB to add the twitter poll to give a batter a metal bat. I just want to see Mike Trout just launching homers with an illegal aluminum bat.
Sorry, but there’s no way I could ever not drive. I’m sure there will be someone who create a robot racing series or something along those lines, but we’ll never stop driving. It’s not just a sport, it’s everything. We have our lives, our loved ones, jobs, all of it. But the love for driving transcends all that. Ask anyone who’s a driver, from someone in formula 1 to your local kart track (I’m American, don’t know if y’all are but if not karts are common elsewhere), and they’ll all share the same sentiment. I love y’alls videos, and I just felt like you might enjoy a simple American car enthusiasts opinion on having people not racing. Keep up the great videos!
The problem is this never asked fans to assess objectively other drivers. It just becomes entrenched tribalism. Thankfully they never tried it in F1. It would never go to anyone down the grid just purely bc of broadcast exposure, or lack thereof. I imagine this will also become less of a good ideas Formula E continues to establish itself
I'm pretty sure you guys can find material for an entire season of Weird Rules just from baseball. Examples: bunting foul with two strikes is a strikeout, the batter can try for first if the catcher drops the third strike, if a batter foul tips a pitch into the catcher's glove it is not an out unless the batter has two strikes, the evolution of the strike zone, the batter can run through first base but not the other bases, check swings, balks, ball thrown out of play and the bases awarded as the result, etc.
They have something like this in the Indoor Football League where fans acquired coins for one team and if you had enough coins you could decide what play the teams offense was going to run. There is now a league based on this called the FCFL (Fan Controlled Football League)
Do the rule about the cricket game where the ball gets hit into the tree and the guy scores so many runs until the other team gets a ladder to get the ball out
attack mode is a nice way to increase the amount of passes, it doesnt even help that much cause you lose a lot of time going the long route and might not even make your old position back (that is why they are now required to use it 2 times per race)
Attack mode is a pretty legit name considering how aggressive FE is compared to other open wheel racing series. Attack mode means your about to see the elbows come out.
The only things coming to mind are rewinders of Gravity's 6 second OOTA of the heavily favored Dantomkia or Bombshell's upset of Tombstone. Maybe a Weird Rules segment about Battlebots's drone rule, and including Hypershock swatting a drone down with a rake.
I don't care which show it's on, I would watch the hell out of a sb nation battlebots video. I suggest projectiles or drones as weird rules. Or maybe when bombshell somehow beat duck! Last year.
There was a rule in F1 that fits here. "Only the top X results counts", aka, "You can win the most points overall and _still_ lose the championship". It then changed into "count the best 6 results of the first 7 races, and then the best 6 results of the last 7 races"... And then it was, happily, buried 3 meters underneath the ground and banished for good.
@@64cgfan Also a Nintendo fan XD. Mario Kart never had the "Charge up" mechanic for Boost. It's also interesting as F-Zero was made to be a "futuristic F1"...
There was this rule made in the Argentine football (soccer) league some decades ago that is no longer in effect. There was this goalie known as Hugo Gatti that would play using flashy outfits, usually with a whole kit in the same color and such. The football association of Argentina once had enough and made a rule that stated that the goalie of a team had to wear shots and socks matching the rest of the team on the field. As stated before, the rule is no longer in effect.
Sports Beefs: Ayrton Senna vs Alain Prost. Or Lewis Hamilton vs Nico Rosberg. Hell, even Hamilton/McLaren vs Fernando Alonso. Just giving you some ideas...
just as a snarky fyi, attack mode is called as such bc attack in racing is the name for the approach to the overtake, and as the normal line is on the inside, attacking to overtake must be done off the line, typically to the outside
A couple things wrong with this: Fan boost voting stops 6 minutes AFTER the start of the race, so you cant count on getting it as part of the strategy Attack is the term in racing for attempting to pass someone so "Attack mode" fits because it allows you to better attack the car in front
Funny you mention that Formula E tries to make the fans feel like they matter, supposedly, Formula E races aren't that fun to attend at all. Nice to see some motorsports content here, I'd love to see something like a Rewinder of the 2011 Indy 500 finish.
idk if you know about the KERS system in Formula One cars that actually kind of does something similar. it's a button that gives you a slight boost to acceleration and top speed for a very short period and it recharges over the course of the race as you drive. it seems like just giving only 5 popular racers a KERS button. it results in FRACTIONS of seconds difference in a race but those can make all the difference in a competitive race
If you are going down the motorsports rabbit hole, a couple of interesting ones to look at from F1 would be the "All cars must have 4 tires" and the "No movable aerodynamic parts (ie: fan cars)" rules.
Formula E is probably good for like 2 full seasons of Weird Rules. Yet despite its strangeness, the racing is always pretty good and (unlike F1) there's actual passing!
A weird but universally accepted by cricket rule: No matter how big the lead is, if you can't dismiss all the opponent batsman (batter) before end of time, the match is a draw, regardless how many runs you leads against your opponent. So teams which is trailing in two innings match will intentionally play conservatively to prevent them got dismissed, like just the block the incoming delivery for balls.
When I was in 5th grade I went door to door selling magazines subscriptions for my school. Sure, it was an obvious child labor scam to earn money for the school and magazine companies, but if I sold enough I got a killer pair of sunglasses. It worked. I went door to door and, goddammit, I earned some sunglasses. Fan boost seems to me like the Formula E version of getting drivers to do some door to door sales. If being popular is strategically advantageous in a race, it encourages drivers to do more press, be more likable, be present on social media, etc. In a new sport that's dying for visibility, it seems like a pretty smart way to motivate its drivers to get out there and advertise for the series. And, seeing as how there is now a video on SB Nation about Formula E, it appears to be working.
Michael Shumacher served a stop-and-go penalt after wining a race because there was no rule saying when you needed to take your penalty. 1998 British Grand Prix
I think you really should have noted that All drivers are required to use attack mode. The number of times they must do so and the duration the boost lasts for varies from track to track (Berlin was twice for 4 minutes each time) and because you have to lose time (and potentially spots) to activate it, you really are going on the attack immediately afterwards.
The Saint Louis Browns were a major league baseball team that had a section of bleachers play fan manager. They would vote on whether or not to steal or things like that. The fans wound up winning the game.
If you could pick one thing in sports that you could vote for and it would alter the game (in a not totally game breaking fashion), what would it be? I think I'd like to be able to vote for a baseball team to have to play the first inning with two outfielders.

All this video did was convince me I want a self-driving car destruction derby.
A weird but universally accepted by cricket rule:
No matter how big the lead is, if you can't dismiss all the opponent batsman (batter) before end of time, the match is a draw, regardless how many runs you leads against your opponent. So teams which is trailing in two innings match will intentionally play conservatively to prevent them got dismissed, like just the block the incoming delivery for balls.
Rewinder:Hamiltons pass on Glock at 2008 Brazil
When I was in 5th grade I went door to door selling magazines subscriptions for my school. Sure, it was an obvious child labor scam to earn money for the school and magazine companies, but if I sold enough I got a killer pair of sunglasses. It worked. I went door to door and, goddammit, I earned some sunglasses. Fan boost seems to me like the Formula E version of getting drivers to do some door to door sales. If being popular is strategically advantageous in a race, it encourages drivers to do more press, be more likable, be present on social media, etc. In a new sport that's dying for visibility, it seems like a pretty smart way to motivate its drivers to get out there and advertise for the series. And, seeing as how there is now a video on SB Nation about Formula E, it appears to be working.

The "attack mode" boost sounds like the F-zero zones that refills your boost meter
I think you really should have noted that All drivers are required to use attack mode. The number of times they must do so and the duration the boost lasts for varies from track to track (Berlin was twice for 4 minutes each time) and because you have to lose time (and potentially spots) to activate it, you really are going on the attack immediately afterwards.
Except under safety cars, which is a very weird loophole when no one knows for sure how long the safety/pace car will last.
Can you please do a deep rewind on the 2014 world cup match between Brazil and Germany
Yessss, I’ve saying this! Either that blow out game or just a rewind on the final against Argentina
The Saint Louis Browns were a major league baseball team that had a section of bleachers play fan manager. They would vote on whether or not to steal or things like that. The fans wound up winning the game.
