Oh, I see. I was wondering what, if any, the call would be on this play. Looks like incidental contact to me.

Was there a "clear path" to the goal?

I don't think it's obvious one way or the other.

I do not think it matters, the defender was going for the bike.

Clearly we have a foul against the yellow team player. Notice both skates off the court? 5 minute major with a loss of down and the ball at the center of the loop. Come on guys, this is an easy one.

And a question to M&M, do you have to wear that type of skirt and nylons when you're officiating this?

Yea, but I can never find a brand of nylons that fits just right...

Um, no, I don't referee. But there are guys that do; I even play poker with one. The guys wear shorts or pants, but they also wear all the knee pads, shin guards, elbow pads, and helmets. The best part is the players and refs get to pick their own names - some of the player names are Rice A Horni, Izza Calamity, Jane Goodbrawl, Terror Misu, Morley Bankrupt...well, you get the idea.

Pregame:


As I understand it, they use 5-6 refs per match - 2 for the inside of the track, 2 on the outside, and 1 or 2 for the penalty box administration.

A few years ago, I worked with a woman who was on a team. Her "stage name" was Dakota Dynamite. As she was a captain in the AF Reserves, I called her Captain Dynamite.

I thought the initial play on the ball was clean. However the follow through to face may be excessive and I can understand a foul call here.
