yes as soon as you break that plane you have entered the home zone = 10 point penelty

My Team and I believe that it is okay to move clockwise as long as you stay in the same quadrant. Were saying it is still illegal to move back over a line marker but that if you need to move clockwise to get a ball, it is alright to do so as long as you stay in the same quadrant.

If I'm wrong please let me know, but that doesn't seem to violate any rules.
i agree, as long as you stay in the same quadrant then you are fine.

yes you would be penalized twice once for the clock-wise line break and second for being over 6' in the opponents home zone.
