Safe Zones and Pinning for Aerial Assist

[mrnoble]

Two questions that don't seem to be clarified in the rules:

-No G29 rule defining pinning; also no definition in the glossary. Is pinning still considered only against a wall or field element?

-No protected zones? Can't find anything that says the Goalie Zone is protected.

The rule is worded exactly the same as last year, including the dubious use of the word "transitory". Pinning wasn't defined last year either - so I guess it's the same definition.

I don't see any protection either. Why should there be? Seems to me a valid part of the game would be to try to move a goalkeeper out of the way.
