Re: Important 80 inches!!!

This is the "30 fps" rule of '06. If a team does do it, and no one notices, then how can anyone assess a penalty?

That said, be weary of your opponents during the matches, and if you think they're outside of 80", kindly pull aside a referee and ask, hey, aren't they greater than 80"? Then you've done all you can do, and you can only hope for the best.

Would someone post the rule for 80" (I need a refresher on it, before I can have more opinions). My last thought: If a team was tipping over, or entangled on the overpass in such a way that they exceeded 80", does it violate the rule? Seems to me that a few degrees could make all the difference to the teams that are soft-stopped at 80", but when they start going over...
