New Rules

dragonkin · 2006-12-26 19:40:05

Everybody remember that the new rules come into effect 1st of Jan. There are quite a few additions but the main one (I think) is that is no longer a free if the ball accidentally hits your foot. I think this is a good thing personally.

Ah it's not that much of a change. The intent of the rule has always been that it's only a free if it put you at a disadvantage and/or the player who's foot the ball hit did it on purpose. The new phrasing just tries to make this clearer. It was never supposed to be an automatic foot=free scenario.
