Throw-in

“For a throw in, the ball is considered `in play' the moment it has left the umpires hand, and for a free hit the moment the player taking a free hit has either hit or hit at the ball if missed. (ii)Ball Out of Play. The ball is `out of play' if a goal has been scored or if it has gone over the back or side line or boards. A ball on the line is still in play. The whistle is not blown nor the clock stopped. (iii)Dead Ball.”

“Each umpire should have a back line and side line which dictates their positioning and it is important that umpires are clear as to their positioning during play and for all throw-ins and free hits. 10. Free Hits.”

“g.During a throw-in, a precedence as between players will only be established when the ball leaves the line out, either direct from the throw by the umpire or if hit away by a player. Until such time, players may play the ball from any direction or angle providing they do so without creating danger or a risk of danger to themselves, other players or ponies. h.”

“HOW PLAY COMMENCES a...EXAMPLES: Both teams arrive at the center line and jostle for position as the Umpire prepares to throw-in. Play should be stopped. There should be no contact prior to the throw-in. The teams line up, each on its own side of center, and move toward the Umpire as he prepares to throw-in. The play should be stopped if the 5-yard provision is violated. After a hard run and scoring a goal, Red #2 is slow returning to the lineup and is still 20 yards from center when the Umpire is ready to throw-in.”

“If play is stopped by the Umpires after the 7-minute horn or bell for any reason, the penalty, throw-in or free hit, as the case may be, shall be executed. If play is stopped by the Umpire's whistle after the 7minute horn or bell for any reason, a minimum of 5 seconds shall be allowed for execution of any penalty, free hit or throw-in, as the case may be. c.”

“Should they elect not to call a Penalty 1, then they shall count the field goal and resume play at center field with a throw-in. (2) The goal shall not be counted, and the appropriate penalty awarded, if a foul is confirmed against the attacking team. d. After the Umpire stops the game because the ball breaks when first hit on a foul shot or on a hit-in, play shall be resumed with another ball from the same point in the same manner. Otherwise play shall be resumed with a new ball as provided in subsection 22.e(4) below. e.”
