Abstract

This paper is an orthogonal study to that of Kendall and Lenten (2017)—on the perverse unintended consequences of badly designed sports rules. This paper, unlike the previous one, focuses on the positive narrative by aggregating a collection of academic work proposing rule change ideas, some of which have been implemented already. We also discuss further compelling ideas within the multidisciplinary literature that could yet be considered and adopted by sports administrators. Many of these ideas essentially aim to “solve a problem” inherent under the current (or a previous) status quo, and invariably use tools from fields of social scientific literature such as operational research, statistics and economics.
