Re: Curie 2010!

Under the rules, if a field fault happens, at any time, the match is to be replayed. They don't stop matches unless it's really bad; as a matter of fact, it's never called for in the rules. What a field fault is is up to the FTA and Head Ref to determine.

And there was an advantage: If there are no more balls coming down the return due to a jam, then balls are supposed to come in from the side. If they run out, there's a problem--both sides are short of balls, and it's anyone's guess who's at the disadvantage. So they replay the match.

Derbyshire, I've seen field faults cause the entire match to be played wrong. The match had to be replayed. This is AFTER the match ended. I haven't heard the foghorn in quite some time, maybe the last couple of years or more. I've heard of it, but not heard it.
