The FISTF Sports Department have written to each national association to clarify a number of rules. Please read through these rules and check they are in-line with how you are playing. Please get in touch if you are unsure.<\/p>\n
The list of the rules discussed is the following:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Every touch of the ball by the goalkeeper (including a save) or by the spare-goalkeeper\u00a0adds up to the maximum three flicks\u00a0the goalkeeper is allowed to take.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Examples:<\/span><\/p>\n 1.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>If the goalkeeper has already touched the ball one time, the attacker may flick his spare-goalkeeper at the ball only two more times.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n 2.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>If the goalkeeper has already touched the ball three times in a row, the attacker may not use his spare-goalkeeper, unless he touches the ball with another playing figure.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n Explanation: The rule says that\u00a0every touch of the ball<\/span>\u00a0by the goalkeeper on rod always counts as an attacking flick.<\/span><\/p>\n If, by an attacking move, the played playing figure moves from non-offside position into offside position, there shall be no offside\u00a0for this playing figure<\/span>\u00a0as long as the ball is moving: passive offside. However, this playing figure may not play the ball again until the ball has stopped.<\/span><\/p>\n An attacking playing figure is considered to be in non-offside position\u00a0<\/span>at the moment it takes a corner-flick<\/span>. Therefore, the passive offside rule always applies to a playing figure which takes a corner-flick.<\/span><\/p>\n Explanation: The rule says that the passive offside applies\u00a0only to the attacking playing figure which plays the ball<\/span>. Any other attacking playing figure which is in offside position when the ball is last played,\u00a0is<\/b>\u00a0declared offside even if the ball is still moving. In case of a corner-flick, the attacking playing figure which takes the corner-flick is never declared offside as long as the ball is still moving. However,\u00a0no other attacking playing figure in offside position<\/span>\u00a0<\/b>is protected by the passive offside rule.<\/span><\/p>\n After having touched the ball, the attacking playing figure may touch any\u00a0other attacking\u00a0playing figure,\u00a0a goalkeeper or the defender’s body before coming to rest.\u00a0However,\u00a0the\u00a0attacker’s flick\u00a0may not cause (either directly or indirectly) the displacement of\u00a0two or more defending playing figures standing completely inside the defender’s half<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Explanation: The rule says that \u201csmashing\u201d is given only if\u00a0at least<\/span>\u00a0two defending playing figures<\/span>\u00a0inside the defender\u2019s half<\/span>\u00a0are touched by the attacking playing figure which played the ball (directly), or by any other deflected playing figure (indirectly). Example: An attacking playing figure plays the ball and after that it hits one defending figure in the attacker\u2019s half and then another defending figure in the defender\u2019s half. This is\u00a0not<\/span>\u00a0smashing.<\/span><\/p>\n However, defending playing figures that are displaced by the ball (directly) or by any other playing figure moved by the ball (indirectly), are\u00a0not<\/span>\u00a0considered to be \u201csmashed\u201d. Example: An attacking playing figure plays the ball and then the ball moves another attacking figure which in turn hits two defending figures in the defender\u2019s half. This is\u00a0not<\/span>\u00a0smashing.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The FISTF Sports Department have written to each national association to clarify a number of rules.
