Rules (some changes can happen):

@wackor:
breakless forbidden in GVA. Cops can be dicks if they are into the mood. Drive slowly when you see them, it should be ok. Be realy aware about biking cops!

a question if been asking myself for a long time...will it be possible to ask for a tactical time out, for example, to get together your team or disrupt a bit the rythm of the other team?

and regarding body to body, you say it's legal the use of forearms. In what way? Because if you use a forearm, the chicken wing which is not allowed, is so close to it! Maybe I don't understand exactly... is it like a defensive forearm, just for them not to break your "personal" space?

T-Bonin fault, is it always the player who crash into the other the one that commits the foul right? What about offensive obstructing, like going backwards on a behind move from the other?

Fri Jul 9, 2010, 12:07pm

#47

uolmo

use of forearms is in a defensive way to prevent a player who is pushing on you. You can put your forarms against his shoulder.

T-boning.,.. seriously, for me this rule mean nothing. All depend of who make the crash, who is moving and not, and who can avoid the crash or not. I can't realy answer you about that. If a player skid just in front of me, making me crash in him without ohter option, i think that the foul is not for me.

For offensive obstruction, i hate that every day a lil' bit more. But in european polo, that's legal. So for me, no rules about that. But I think that ref need to be more permissive with hard contact if the defensor can't get his way to the ball.
Yesterday i intentionnally t-boning the ofensive player who was screening me, it was a foul, but a lil' one I think. For me, people who play like this need to be ready to get push away.
