> Dear All,
> 
> 1.) for the discussion of the 2017 RoboCup Humanoid League (HL) rules, which should start next week in Leipzig, I propose to move forward to the attached rules. (Thanks to all those who contributed to the rule adaptation.)
> 
> The proposed rules follow the official FIFA rules (http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/footballdevelopment/refereeing/02/36/01/11/lawsofthegameweben_neutral.pdf <http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/footballdevelopment/refereeing/02/36/01/11/lawsofthegameweben_neutral.pdf>). They basically reflect the previous HL rules with the free-kick to replace most removal penalties as a major change (as agreed among TC). However, they do not adopt all FIFA rules, e.g. offside, yet. Unlike previously, the new rule appearance now indicates the deficits with respect to the FIFA rules to be applied sooner or later.
> 
> 2.) with respect to the playing turf, I propose to move forward to a more ambitious artificial grass, as used for real soccer fields and to change the rules accordingly.
> 
> For a rationale, please consider the claims of our HL roadmap (http://www.robocuphumanoid.org/wp-content/uploads/HumanoidLeagueProposedRoadmap.pdf <http://www.robocuphumanoid.org/wp-content/uploads/HumanoidLeagueProposedRoadmap.pdf>) and the HL vision of the 2050 game (top paragraph of https://www.robocuphumanoid.org <https://www.robocuphumanoid.org/>).:
> 
> 1.) Rules
> The 2030 roadmap paragraph foresees ‚competitive(!) games against an unprofessional human team‘. Moreover, for 2035, the roadmap claims ‚Play games against junior champion teams.‘ 
> 
> I expect, the games against junior campion teams will have to be carried out according to FIFA rules. This would mean to fully adopt FIFA rules in 19 years, which may appear like a long time. However, in sight of robot (type) 'live times' of 5 to 7 years in HL, this would be only 3 to 4 robot generations from now.
> 
> 2.) Field surface
> The 2020 roadmap paragraph foresees to ‘double' the field size(!) / increase the field length(!) from 10 to 20 meters. Actually this would be four-folding the field size and the leagues space requirement. The next increase is foreseen for 2025 which would nine-fould the space requirement with respect to the current state. 
> 
> I expect the RoboCup Federation will not be willing or able to support the size requirements and the costs for the playing surface of the HL for too long. The perspective of HL league is to move to playing fields that are already there - real soccer fields with real playing surfaces.
> 
> Moving forward thus appears to be highly advisable.
> 
> I would be happy if you would support the rule proposal.
