Re: Missed Inbounder Assists

I was an inspector 2 weeks ago, and asked a ref about when does bulldozing constitute possession? She said they had a standard, but could not disclose it. I'm guessing it is the same for pinning. I'll be Ref'ing this weekend, and will be interested in what they tell us.

From what I see in the video from a distance, I am not sure if I would have called it a possession, unless I was told in advance.. By the same token, I might not have called it a possession foul either. IMHO, you really have to hold the ball more than a fraction of a second. The ones I am more worried about are: Bot is running across the field, and hits the opponent's ball. When is that intentional?

In addition to telling the head ref before matches, you might want to hold the ball for 1 second prior to ejecting it. Or, only eject it immediately if it is a bot to bot pass (with no carpet inbetween). Otherwise, it just looks like it hit your bot and fell out (regardless of whether the motors were running or not).
