CANADIAN VERSION:

A crackback block is a UR foul.

Four criteria must be met:
  1. The block occurs anywhere from 5 yards ahead of the LS back to the Team A dead ball line.
  2. The block is by a player moving towards the ball when it was snapped.
  3. The blocker, at some point, was greater than 3 yards outside the Close Line Play Area.
  4. The block is below the waist.
