: I don't feel any 'rule' should be based on intent. Intent is hard to judge.

: Is there any other way to make an anti-tipping rule without judging on intent?
: Daniel

Hmmm. OK. Let's look at other sports and see when and why fouls are called:

Football:
Using hands illegally: facemasking, holding, swatting, pass interference
Blocking and tackling inproperly: clipping, tripping, spearing, QB protection
Some of these actions can be legal in certain areas of the field.
(like clipping can happen within the line of scrimmage zone, and a DB can
hand-check a receiver within 5 yards of LOS.)

Basketball:
Using hands illegally: reaching in, hand checking, etc.
Not Having correct defensive position: Blocking, tripping
Unsportmanlike stuff: Elbowing, hitting, etc.
AGAIN, some of these actions are more 'legal' under the basket (a specific location)
(like reaching in, elbowing, and more allowances in general)

Baseball:
Major contact can only take place between opposing players
at the plate... again, it depends on the location

Hockey and Soccer:
More contact seems to occur as they get closer to the goal...
again with the location.

OK, getting back to this year's competition. The rules about tipping
depended on location. They expected the contact to be rougher around
the puck... so if you were there, you shoulda expected contact. If you
were in the corner, trying to raise floppies, you were the same as being
'at the top of the key' or 'in the secondary' or 'at second base' or
'at midfield'... places that less contact occurs in other sports.

Does this correlation make sense? Or is it just too late on a Monday
night?
