| various rules questions just a couple of questions, about AQ rules 1.0 or, CMAS 10, or whatever you want to name them:
- I heard that in Sheffield, for penalty shots, the defender player was allowed to dive without touching the wall. However, he must contact it before the start of play. New rules (AQ 1.0) doesn't mention it, is that a mistake in the rules, or a mistake in my hearings ?
- more about penalty shots: I have seen at least one video were a penalty is "defended", because one of the attackers is ahead of the puck before it's touched, even without obstructing the defender. Rules say attacking players must be behind the puck at the penalty shot start of play (sound signal), but they can go any legal position after the sound signal. That mean that they can be ahead of the puck, when the other attacker takes possession of it ? (and so, the penalty shot I saw in the video was just a bad call)
- Corner rule: I should check, but guess that older rules mentioned that the puck must be taken out from the corner (1m radius) to "reset" the counter. Rules now say that the player must make an attempt to move it from the corner. I still think it shouldn't be a referee criteria, but the rules say it's ???
- in water Side-substitution: snorkels of substitutes MUST be visible on surface all the time ? Can they submerge (without going out of the substituion area)to have a better look of the game, like the referees usually do ?
I guess that's all for now, but it'll continue.... ;-)
