Re: [FTC]: Possession of Rolling Goal Question

Q2. Did I just miss the correct rule which prevents possession?

Thanks
Answered in the official forum here:

http://ftcforum.usfirst.org/showthre...full=1#post135

Which says, in effect, that "lifting, grasping or holding" = "possession", or at least that "possession" is prohibited by <SG8>.


(This might be another example where actually updating the rule, or making a list of official rulings, would help, instead of relying on everyone catching every forum post.)

Update: a new post in the official forum has added the word "possessing" to the list of prohibited actions in <SG8>
