There are 8 questions in Section 2
Based on the situations given:Identify any infringements
Possible Actions and
Your reasoning.
Example 1:
Red WA crosses into the Goal Circle in an attempt to get free of the Blue WD.
At the same time the Blue GD intercepts a shot for goal by the Red GA. This is
the second time that the Red WA has done this in the last five minutes.
Infringement
Offside and Discipline
Possible
Actions
Play Advantage or award a Free Pass to Blue team for offside or apply the
Discipline Rule and penalise the Red WA for persistent offside. The Umpire may
advance the penalty.
1 mark
Red WA may be out of position so the Blue team may then have a clear opportunity
to go on the attack.
Red WA being offside may interfere with the other players in the goal circle and
mean that the Blue team cannot get the ball out of the goal circle and therefore the
Umpire may choose to penalise the offside
The Umpire may have to consider the action of the Red WA, if the offside is felt to
be ‘persistent’ then the Umpire would deal with this as a disciplinary issue
