Thanks!

You will never use this rule. If three teammates were lined up Side by side by side (that is parallel.) and within 3 feet of the endline an opponent must be let in. I have never seen it used as a player, coach or referee.
I have seen many people think that if their opponents are stacked in a line they have to be allowed in the stack between players. That is not true. Those players are lined up PERPENDICULAR to the end line. If they get there first the spots are theirs and I will not let opponents in or fight their way in.
