Re: Drive-over penalties still being called
Yeah I watched parts of about 6 different regional webcasts today and I saw more yellow cards than I did in week one.
The matches that I listened to that had penalties were still almost all infractions of G46.
The following is the new wording of the rule and in my opinion alot of these incidents would be considered non-penalties under this rule.
"<G46> BALL Penetration Restriction – The BALL must not extend more than 3 inches inside the FRAME PERIMETER as defined in Rule <R19>. Incidental protrusions of the BALL within this boundary will not be penalized if the TEAM corrects the condition before resuming game play. Violation: PENALTY for a basic infraction, plus a YELLOW CARD if no immediate attempt to remedy and/or the action is deemed intentional."
Hopefully we see refs begin to follow the update in the qualifying matches and into the elims tomorrow.
Good luck.
