Rule 7 Clinic
Penalty Enforcement
- Who's in the box, who gets the ball? where to start?
- Technical Fouls - You can never serve time if your team has the ball and you commit a technical foul
- A goal scored will wipe out all flags down for technical fouls
Who's in the box?
- Loose ball technical fouls
- There are only two times when you can serve time on a loose ball
- 1- The other team commits a personal found immediately after the foul
- 2- If there is already a flag down against the team that commits the loose ball foul
- Personal Fouls
- You will always service time if you commit a personal foul
- A goal scored does not wipe out the foul
- If a player commits multiple fouls and one of them is non-releasable, he must serve the non-releasable first.
- If a team is man up and scores the personal fouls are released, unless its a non-releaseable
- Flag Down denotes posession
- If the ball is loose flag down denotes posession
- Rule 7.2(d)
- All penalties that occur between when the first flag is thrown and the whistle is blown to resume play, all common penalty time shall be non-releasable
Who gets the ball
- If multiple fouls on both teams, follows rules 7.6
- If fouls on both teams, the team with less total penalty time gets the ball regardless of sequence
- If the time is equal, the team that had the ball keeps the ball. The ball restarts where it was when the whistle was blown.
- If the fouls are on both team, they are dead ball, it goes by sequence. The ball restarts according to the last foul
- If live ball fouls and dead ball foul it goes to the team that didn't commit dead foul
Where does it start
- 7.3c - after penalty enforcement, the offense can never restart in the offensive box
- Fouls on one team only, goto the offensive side of the field
- Live ball fouls on both teams, start where the ball is
- Dead ball fouls on both teams, the restart will move to the offensive end of the team that will get the ball
- If the fouls are dead the restart is live or Dead Ball-Dead Center
