Defining Intent... Location, Location, Location
Posted by Andy Baker.
Engineer on team #45, TechnoKats, from Kokomo High School and Delphi Automotive Systems. Posted on 7/19/99 11:56 PM MST In Reply to: and now for some more! posted by Daniel on 7/15/99 11:20 PM MST: : 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? Andy B. |
