One addition
I have to make an addendum to my response:
LaxRef wrote:
If there's a crease violation with no possession, it's a play-on and possession at the spot or 20 yards laterally from the goal.
I responded:
See case 6.2 H: While ball is loose in crease, A2 interferes with the GK. RULING: Play-on. If GK fails to gain possession of the ball, ball is awarded to team B 20 yards lateral to the goal.
While note LaxRef wrote about CREASE VIOLATION, the case I specified deals with GK INTERFERENCE.
I do NOT see anywhere in the rules or cases that agree with his first statement. I repeat:
Rule 6-2.2 states: " ...Any crease violation by an attacking player while the ball is in the crease shall result in a play-on." There is NO case regarding the restart, nor is it detailed in the rules, nor do they differentiate between possession and loose ball goal crease violation restarts.
So, I have to slightly disagree with LaxRef with his statement regarding crease violations. All the rules tell us is that a crease violation is a play-on. Nothing about restarts.
