Quick UPA 10b questions.

I got the 10b finals clips from TAR and I was curious about some stuff. Sorry if it's old hat, I searched and came up dry.

1. What's the funky rules they're playing with? They sound like good rules that are really oriented towards the players. It looks like if the shooter misses but catches a roll and leaves the opponent hooked, the sitting player can treat it as a push out and give it back to him. Just once per match or what?

I also heard a 2 jump limit mentioned? I can hardly think of any matches between two pros where one guy needed to jump three times. So it seems like this rule should be shortened to 1 jump if it's gonna make any sense. Not that it necessarily does >_<

2. Did john s. and mike d. ever match up? John was doing commentary and said mike was talking some pretty serious trash. I'm wondering how that turned out.
 
Seriously, does the UPA want to be taken seriously? They don't put their 10 ball rules on the site and apparently nobody knows them. Dear UPA: please figure out some official UPA 10b tournament rules and put them on your site. Then hold some events with those rules, and make sure enough people watch those events that your unique rules become common knowledge.

Meanwhile, lil bump... any takers? I need a volunteer here.
