That's why it's very important to ask the head referee when you have rules questions and to be very specific when you do ask the questions.

Now just for example, if your quote above was the question it sounds like it would have been:

"Is it ok to throw this?"

Depending on time of the game, what "this" is, and all other factors, your answers may vary.

If you ask "Am I allowed to throw an empty cell over the outpost shield during a match?"

...you get a much more direct and clear answer and you won't get penalties called on your team.
