Penalty enforcement May 10, 2019 World Games 2014 0 Forum Questions A is man down with the ball in attack zone in front of A’s bench. B1 slashes A1 flag down. A’s bench taunts B1, flag down stop play. What is the correct procedure? Question File Add new DuBan's Answer: Visual Text Kratz's Answer: Visual Text McCarrick's Answer: Visual Text I would assume the second flag (the one on team A) is for an Unsportsmanlike Conduct. With that being said both fouls are simultaneous by rule and both are live ball. With that being said, and assuming the unsportsmanlike conduct is only one minute and that the slash by B1 is only one minute you would award the ball based on possession (ie the team that had it when the whistle was blown). Since A had possession they will keep possession in the same relative spot on the field. ( Live ball, Live Ball, Leave it). ( page 86 Rule 7-6 ) Additionally under Rule 7-2 d the fouls are to be served in there entirety. Riti's Answer: Visual Text Tyma's Answer: Visual Text Rick's got it. To make his answer more general, if the bench foul is for conduct only (technical), there is no flag for it; but the officials should sound the whistle as soon as the conduct foul occurs (7.6.2). Since the foul by the initially offended team is a technical foul, no time is served for that foul (7.6.3.b.1). B1 serves time for his foul (one, two, or three minutes releasable, as judged by the officials; two or three minutes nonreleasable if the officials rule that the slash was directly to the player's head or neck). The ball is awarded to Team A (7.6.4.a) at the location where it was at the time of the whistle or outside the goal area (7.3). Answer File Question Answered Yes No
