"Pre-Game Situations"

[rainmaker]

The POE this year and last year that talks about "disrupting the opponents' warmups" is the topic for today. I've been interpreting this as one team doing something on the playing floor at the end where the opponent is warming up. The book both last year and this year use wording that specifically talks about "running through."

But at our association meeting this past week, we were told that we should not allow a team to circle the floor, and that this was part of the POE. That seemed strange to me, since we see a lot of this and no one seems to mind. I've asked several people from our association who were at the meeting and their reactions are all the same as mine. "What's the deal? We thought it meant going through, not just running around."

Is this a new interp, or is it what was meant last year? How are other areas defining this particular type of "unsporting behavior"?
