Started 21 Nov 15:07

Rule 14B.7.1 says that “The free shot is the standard penalty for all violations of the rules.” So in every instance of a violation of the rules a free shot is given except:

• „If legal playing would have led to a direct chance to score a goal, a “6.5 m” is given.” (Rule 14B.7.2) AND
• “This [sending a player off the field] is done in the case of unsporting behavior and also for intentional or dangerous disregard of the rules.” (Rule 14B.7.5)

But there are many situations where a stricter penalty would be more fair. We already discussed about the penalty of time wasting (can also be a penalty box). But what about some other violations of the rule like too many players on the field, insults or exaggerated roughness?

In Germany and Switzerland there are additional rules which give guidelines for the referee which violation of the rules should be penalized with which possibility (Free Shot, 6.5m, Penalty Goal, Penalty Box). A short list of guidelines or clearly defined rules should also exist in the IUF rulebook.

Comment 26 Nov 13:59

I move some comments from other discussion here because they belong to this discussion.

 

Comment by Nicolai Krieger 24.11.

I think such a rule is no improvement. What happens if a player moves the goal? Does the opposing team gets a free shot or an 6.5m or is the player moving the goal send off the field for 2min? The rule you suggested Rolf says nothing about the penalty the offending player (or his team) gets! This is exactly the problem I tried to come up with in an other discussion.

 

 

Comment by Rolf Sander 25.11.

Yes, indeed, I said nothing about the penalty the offending player gets. I didn't say anything on purpose! Apart from very few exceptions, I don't want to take away the freedom from the referee to choose a suitable punishment by writing down additional rules. We already have section 14B.7 which describes in detail all possible punishments and when to apply them. In short, the categories are:

1. "normal" illegal play -> free shot
2. missed a direct chance to score a goal -> 6.50 m
3. would definitely have been a goal -> penalty goal
4. intentional -> penalty box

The rest of the rules should only say "This is legal" or "This is illegal". Then the referee decides if the violation of the rules fits best into category 1), 2), 3) or 4).
Adding a few examples what "a direct chance to score" actually means is a good idea but I would not try to make the list comprehensive and complete. The bigger the list is, the more likely people will complain when the opposing team gets a 6.5 m for something that was clearly a direct chance to score but not included in the list.

 

 

Comment by Herbert Herrmann 26.11.

Rolf: "Then the referee decides if the violation of the rules fits best into category 1), 2), 3) or 4)."

Your 4. category "intentional -> penalty box" should be an add on to category 2) or 3)

As a referee I see a above situation and I feel not 100% certain, normally I make a time out and discuss this situation with the second referee as we have recognised (in this case no discussion with the players) before making a final decision.

 

Comment by Rolf Sander 26.11.

You're right, Herbert, it should be:
(1 or 2 or 3) and in addition maybe (4)
To be complete, the "non-punishment" face-off could be included as number 0:
(0 or 1 or 2 or 3) and in addition maybe (4)

Comment 26 Nov 14:41

I agree on not taking away the freedom of the referee to choose a suitable punishment. But I think the referees should have some guidelines. The rulebook cannot cover every situation so there shouldn't be rules which define exactly every situation. But for the referees there should be some guidelines otherwise the referees interpret the rules in too different ways.

For example if a team plays with six players what should be the punishment? Maybe the team did it not intentional. In this case the referee can only give a penalty from 1, 2 or 3. I think this would not be the correct penalization.

To solve this problem I see the following possibilities:

• define in every rule in which situation which penalty is the most suitable
• expatiate every possible penalty (not only "unsporting behavior" AND "intentional or dangerous disregard of the rules") so the referees have a good background and some guidelines for their decisions
• do a mix of the two bullet points mentioned above

Rule 14B.7.5 says that "The Referee can send a player off the field for two minutes, five minutes or for the remainder of the game." What is the difference between those options? In which cases is a foul penalized with a penalty box of 2min and when with a longer period of time? I'd prefer if there is a gradation between the different penalty boxes.

The referees have the possibility to send a player off the field for the remainder of the game. Think about a horrible foul in the first minutes of a game of 2*20min. Does in this case the team have to play over 30min with only 4 players? I think unicycle hockey is more like ice hockey where the penalty might be different for a player and his team. I suggest that a player who is send off the field for the remainder of the game is prohibited to play (maybe even for more than this game) but his team can replace the player by another player after 5min.

An other gap in the rulebook: Who does measure the time when a player is off the field? Probably this is done by the timer. To have a clearly defined point where the penalty box starts the referees have to take a time out! Who does communicate to the player sent off the field when his penalty box is over? I think this should be done by the timer over the loudspeakers. To have a good rulebook such things should be mentioned somewhere in the rulebook!

Comment 27 Nov 20:00

In Australia we proposed a card system similar to Soccer to give the referees some guidelines.

We have had trials of implementing it but until the referees actually take their job seriously in our league it is not useful in my opinion.

I have attached the draft of it in both picture and excel document form. I believe this is similar to what Nicolai is thinking. A method to try and standardise referee responses to fouls.

At the moment I think it is too comprehensive unless referees are very dedicated they will not learn it, your leagues may have better caliber of refs however.

Comment 29 Nov 15:19

Yes this is how I imagined it. But I think the draft you attached is much too detailed.

Before I started this discussion I looked up in different leagues if some guidelines exist. In Switzerland and in Germany there are also some additional rules. Maybe we can take from those rulebooks the most important parts and transfer them into the IUF Rulebook. If in three of the biggest Unicycle Hockey Leagues in the word (if not the three biggest) guidelines exist it is something which should be in the rulebook!

 

 

Comment 12 Dec 15:33

It seems that in this discussion there are still some points to discuss. And I agree with Nicolai having guidelines for the referee and also for the players (!) is helpful. I suggest to take Rule 14B.7.5 Penalty Box and add the following points.

 

Current:

Comment 12 Dec 15:56

The Referee can send a player of the field for two minutes, five minutes or for the remainder of the game. This is done in the case of unsporting behavior and also for intentional or dangerous disregard of the rules. While a player is in the penalty box, the team may not substitute a replacement for that player. When a player is set of the field for the remainder of the game, the team can replace that player after 5 minutes. The referees should consider the following guidelines when punishing a player

 

I dont see any need to allow a team to have a player come on after 5 mins if their player was sent off for the rest of the match. It is a punishment for disobeying of the rules repeatedly. Forcing your team to play a man down for an entire game will teach people to obey the rules better

Comment 13 Dec 19:06

2 minutes:

To many player on the field (last player entered the field gets the penalty)

> If is was a wrong substitution and you as as referee has seen it, fine and if not? The referee will select some player. (Delete the words in brackets.

Incorrect equipment (regarding rules 14B.2, 14B.3, 14B.5) 

> Sending off and off how long it will take to fix it. Repeated incorrect equipment would be fine for me

Intentional and influential time wasting

> "Intentional delay of the game" was the wording so fare used (14B.9.1)

Repeated fouls of the same player

> yes, and I would like to add "repeated exaggerated roughness"

Insults against opponents

> 14B.9.5 Insults says Insults against players not opponents (Maybe we should add "or threats" and "against spectators")

Fouls from behind (and no change to touch the ball) 

> yes

Dangerous game against other players

> yes

Intentional fouls

> no, singular. (It is normally hard enough for a referee to recognize "intentional". But if recognized than the first foul is enough for 2 minutes)

 

5 minutes (or for the remainder of the game):

> I think we should split this. 5 min should be close to a "red card" and last combined with a last warning. Sending off for the remainder of a game should be given for a "no go" and for this violation I dislike a replacement after 5 min.

 

5 minutes
Repeated fouls of a player who has already received 2 minutes before

> yes

Insults against referees

> no

Intentional dangerous fouls

> yes, next than off

Violent conduct against referees or other players

> no, violence against other players may be yes, depending on situation (Maybe we should add "spectators")

 

Off for the remainder of the game

• Repeated fouls of a player who has already received 5 minutes before
• Repeated violence of a player who has already received 5 minutes before
• Insults or threats against referees
• Violence against referees

Comment 24 Dec 06:49

I think a reason to let replace the player after 5min is, that if in a team which is formed at the beginning of a tournament, the players do not know each other very well. If in such a situation the whole team is punished in such a strong way its very hard for all the other players of this team. Send a player off the field for the remainder of the game is done for disregards of the rule by a specific player not by the whole team. I would rather doesn't let the player play in the game or in the next few games after he was sent off the field. If the penalty box is given in the last few minutes the player cant play for some time. This would punish this player in a strong way but his team can play on in the tournament with only a small handicap (has to play with maybe a strong player less and a substitute less).

I think nobody has experience with such strong punishments therefore its very difficult to find a good solution.

Sorry Herbert, I'm not sure I did understand correctly what do you want to say with "Incorrect equipment (regarding rules 14B.2, 14B.3, 14B.5)  > Sending off and off how long it will take to fix it. Repeated incorrect equipment would be fine for me"

 

I would either let the player fix the incorrect equipment without a penalty box or send him off for a specific time (If he comes back in without fixing he would be sent off again). I prefer sending a player off the field for 2min if he has no correct equipment.

I agree with all the other comments from Herbert for "2 minutes".

Splitting the punishments for 5min and the remainder of the game is a good idea. I think reasons to give 5min or send a player off the field for the remainder of the game is also a question about the punishment the player and his team gets. Therefore I think we should first clear the punishment (penalty box for the remainder of the game).

 

Comment 25 Dec 11:16

Start with the ease one. "Incorrect equipment (regarding rules 14B.2, 14B.3, 14B.5)": E.g. a broken open spoke or metal pedals, wrong coloured t-shirt, splintered stick. And in addition against the new safety rules for clothing (14B.11.x) > no 2min for this player,  Sending off and off again how long it will take to fix it or a substitute player.

Off for the remainder of the game:

1) In case of repeated fouls, violence of a player and already received 5 minutes before. This player got already time to think about what he has done (2min , 5min). And this team was already punished for the above time. If the team captain of this team takes the risk that this player will be unfair again, yes this should hurt this team.

2) Hard insults, threats or violence against referees is a NO GO even if the referee is bad. This punishment should strengthen the position of the referee.

"If in such a situation the whole team is punished in such a strong way its very hard for all the other players of this team." This is the sense and the risk! I can remember only once, it had happen in Canada during the A-tournament.

@Nicolai: "I would rather doesn't let the player play in the game or in the next few games after he was sent off the field." I agree, this is a good point to think about.

For the moment due to our rules a referee is only responsible for the game he judges not the next game. Who will be responsible? In addition this would be a new punishment!

Comment 01 Jan 20:14

Other ideas or comments?

 

Comment 01 Jan 22:28

2 minutes:

• To many player on the field (last player entered the field gets the penalty) Agree in theory (hard to rule if you dont know who came on last. Increases likelihood of bias or APPEARANCE of bias from referee) Who gets sent off if noone knows who was on field last, the best player of the team? the worst player? the captain? the goalie? The person closest from the ball? the person furthest from the ball? the person closest to the ref?
• Incorrect equipment (regarding rules 14B.2, 14B.3, 14B.5) Incorrect equipment should be 2 min send off. BROKEN equipment should be sent off for duration of time that it takes them to replace or repair equipment. Equipment breaks and they should not be penalised for it. Having the wrong equipment in the first place is fair.
• Intentional and influential time wasting Same penalty should apply whether time wasting is effective or not.
• Repeated fouls of BY the same player Agreed
• Insults against opponents Disagree. A penalty is enough for this and possibly repeated insults is a 2min send off. Also depends what people define as "insults"
• Fouls from behind (and no change to touch the ball) Unsure of what this is
• Dangerous play Depending on how dangerous. In theory a careless sub would be dangerous play but should it be 2min send off?
• Intentional foul Agreed
• Backchat to referee (Constant backtalking to the referee or questioning decisions) Does the word backchat make sense to german speakers?

5 minutes (or for the remainder of the game):

• Repeated fouls of a player who has already received 2 minutes before Agreed
• Insults against referees Agreed but should be insults not just backchat.
• Multiple Intentional dangerous fouls agreed
• Violent conduct against referees or other players Agreed

 

I agree we should discuss penalty in future game for someone who is sent off for entire match.

 

I disagree with a a team being allowed to bring a player on after 5 min if someone is sent off for remainder of match. It is unfair to a team formed at begining of tournament to have some wild player get sent off for entire match but these are rare cases. The penalty of being sent off for the entire match is in response to bad penalties

Comment 04 Jan 05:44

I try to summarize on what we agreed (more or less) so far:

The referees should consider the following guidelines when punishing a player:

2 minutes:

• Intentional delay of the game
• Repeated fouls by the same player
• Intentional foul
• Dangerous play -> I think a careless SUB is dangerous and should also be a penalty box of 2 minutes

5 minutes:

• Repeated fouls of a player who has already received 2 minutes before
• Intentional dangerous fouls
• Violent conduct against other players

 

Things to discuss about:

general: how are Insults defined? Many bullet points depend on this question. I think at the end this is in discretion of the referee. As these are "only" guidelines I think we should no define Insults.

If we introduce some guidelines should we delete the sentence "This is done in the case of unsporting behavior and also for intentional or dangerous disregard of the rules."? -> I think yes because its redundant.

2 minutes: 

• Too many player on the field -> who is sent off? Last player entered the field gets the penalty if this is clear. In other cases I think it makes most sense if the team getting the penalty box can choose a player. As there is no captain it cannot be sent off.
• Incorrect equipment -> I totally agree with Stevens statement, but how to distinguish between incorrect and broken equipment?
• Insults against other players -> how are "insults" defined?
• Fouls from behind (and no change to touch the ball) -> Would be e.g. a SUB or a SIB from behind
• Backchat to referee -> I do not exactly understand what this mean. In German we have "reklamieren" which is ~ complaining. Is this what you mean Steven?

Off for the remainder of the game

• Repeated fouls of a player who has already received 5 minutes before -> agreed
• Repeated violence of a player who has already received 5 minutes before -> agreed
• Insults or threats against referees -> I think this always depends on how strong the Insult or threat is
• Violence against referees -> agreed

 

Comment 04 Jan 19:56

 

Fouls from behind (and no change to touch the ball) So is this the equivalent of a "professional foul" in other sports? "Professional Foul noun BRITISH (especially in soccer) a deliberate foul to deny an opponent an advantageous position."

 

I do not agree with a SUB being a send off for 2 mins. Majority of subs that I see are accidental and do not result in much more than an unplanned dismount.

Would you still agree that a stationary player who had their stick on the ground and it was run over by a player should be sent off for 2 min for their careless sub? I believe they should be penalised as it was their fault but I disagree that it is a send off offence.

 

Backchat or Backtalk

 

Miriam Webster Dictionary: impudent, insolent, or argumentative replies. 

 

Urban dictionary: To respond to an order in an argumentive fashion.

 

 

 

E.g.

 

Referee to player: you need to stop your players from being so aggressive in this game.

 

Player: Why? We aren't doing anything wrong are you even watching this game properly?

 

Referee: I have made my decision your team has been warned about it now.

 

Player: Maybe we should get another referee that has actually read the rulebook?

 

 

 

It is not an "insult" it is not technically complaining. It is questioning of referees decisions repeatedly and talking back to him when he makes them.

 

Off for the remainder of the game

• Repeated fouls of a player who has already received 5 minutes before -I believe that someone can be sent off for 5min OR the remainder of the game depending on severity. I do not agree that a player must be sent off for 5 mins then do another foul before being sent off for 5 min. If we ruled that a player has to be sent of for 2 min, then commit another foul to be sent off for 5 min then commit another foul to be sent off for the whole game then you are giving someone too many chances. If someone has been sent off once then commits another foul it is at the discression of the referee how bad it was.

 

Comment 08 Jan 09:59

I tried to summarize and considering all feedbacks. And I see the following next steps:

 

1. If we find a bullet point which we do not all agree, we delete this point and try to find a solution in the next committee
2. We bring all other points to proposal

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

[…] The referees should consider the following guidelines when punishing a player:

2 minutes:

 

• Intentional delay of the game
• Repeated fouls by the same player
• Intentional foul
• Dangerous play
• Backchat to referee (Constant backtalking to the referee or questioning decisions) 
• Incorrect equipment regarding rules 14B.2, 14B.3, 14B.5 (in case of broken equipment the player should be sent off for duration of time that it takes them to replace or repair equipment)
• Too many player on the field

5 minutes:

• Repeated fouls of a player who has already received 2 minutes before
• Intentional dangerous foul
• Violent conduct against other players or spectators

Off for the remainder of the game

• Repeated fouls of a player who has already received 5 minutes before
• Repeated violence of a player who has already received 5 minutes before
• Violence against referees

 - - - - - - - - - - -

 

 

Comments:

1. Insults: I removed all bullet points regarding insults against players, spectators or referees because we don’t have the same opinion now. We should discuss this in the next rulebook committee (or before in case we decide to continue with the discussion after the end of this rulebook committee)
2. Too many player: I would not precise, because it is only a guideline.

 

 

Comment 08 Jan 19:41

I agree with this 

Comment 09 Jan 01:53

I think these are good and clear guidelines/points so I would be happy if we can bring this to an proposal.

Comment 09 Jan 02:10

I am fine with this.

Comment 09 Jan 13:09

Thanks for the summary, Christian. I'm in favor of all points that are
consistent with the current rules and help a referee to choose between
the 3 options (2 min, 5 min, rest of game). However, there are two
points where I cannot see either unsporting behavior or intention or
danger:

> Incorrect equipment regarding rules 14B.2, 14B.3, 14B.5 (in case of
> broken equipment the player should be sent off for duration of time
> that it takes them to replace or repair equipment)

I agree that the player with incorrect equipment must be send off the
field but I think it is fine if a substitute comes in while the other
player repairs his unicycle. Why should it be necessary to reduce the
number of players to four?

> Too many player on the field

This happens occasionally when a substitute enters the field before the
other player left. This should certainly be a free shot for the other
team (or advantage) but again, I cannot see unsporting behavior or
intention or danger here.

Comment 10 Jan 00:01

Example for incorrect equipment: a player enters the field but rides an unicycle witch exceeds the allowed mm tyre. If in this case the referee let another player come in, everyone can try to cheat and hope the referee is not seeing it. Therefore, for incorrect equipment the referee should have the possibility to give a properly penalty. 

--> 2 minutes

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Example for broken equipment: the blade of the stick is broken. The referee explains to the player that he has to repair the blade. While the player is reparing the blade, another player can replace him. 

--> no penalty

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

If too many players on the field is only penalised with a  freeshot you actually allow a team to try playing with six players and hope the refereee is not seeing it. I mean a free shot is actually almost no penalty....

due to the fact that these are only guidelines, the referee can do without a penalty in low offence. However, if the player who get out and the player who comes in stay together on the field for many seconds, I see an offence which we can penalize with 2 minutes.

--> I prefer 2 minutes

(In switzerland we introduced this penalty a few years ago. The referees have been very strict. a player is only allowed to enter the field when the other players is completely out from the field. At the beginning we had some penalties of 2 minutes. But now, there is absolutely no problem with to many player on the field.)

--> I do not ask for very strict referees, but it should be written that a team can be penalised with 2 minutes for too many players on the field. 

Comment 11 Jan 16:32

I agree with Christians 2min for incorrect equipment as it encourages people to cheat. The broken equipment I agree with can be replaced by a player.

 

The too many players on the field I and not concerned one way or the other. If the extra player has taken part in play then they should get 2 mins send off. If it is the accidental extra player and they have not taken part I dont see the need to penalise for 2 min.

I am happy to uniformly penalise for 2 mins if that is the easiest to rule. As Christian said, in the beginning you will get some 2min penalties but people will learn quickly.

Comment 11 Jan 18:17

Let we start with the word "guideline". I looked up several translations into German. There is a wide rang of possible translations. From the low not so strict level similar with "help, advise" up to a very strict level close to "rule, law". We should clarify in the rulebook how we want to interpret "guideline". I understand from our discussion that we want to give "practical suggestions" or "good practical guidelines" as first aid how to referee not to force the referee.

Incorrect equipment: Not only regarding to rules 14B.2, 14B.3, 14B.5. As I mentioned  some weeks before "And in addition against the new safety rules for clothing (14B.11.x)", see passed proposal.  Normally I can't see a need to sent a player off for 2 min. I would sent a player of again and again up to the problem has been solved, the can sent a substitute player for the time being. If a player tries repeatedly to cheat and hope the referee is not seeing it the referee should penalise this player for 2 min. Only for the purpose of a warning the risk to be penalised with 2 min we can write it down.

too many players on the field: Christian:"due to the fact that these are only guidelines, the referee can do without a penalty in low offence [Rolf:"This should certainly be a free shot for the other team (or advantage)"]. However, if the player who get out and the player who comes in stay together on the field for many seconds, I see an offence which we can penalize with 2 minutes." Only for the purpose of a warning the risk to be penalised with 2 min we can write it down.

5min > "Violent conduct against other players or spectators". Here we should add "team officials". (e.g. trainer, coach, bank coach, maybe a parent)

"Violent conduct against other players, their team officials or spectators".

Insults: If you remove "Insults" from the list this is not a big issue for me. (Depending on the situation and the used words I as a referee would continue send this player into the penalty box for unsporting behaviour.)

Comment 11 Jan 18:48

One addition to my earlier post about the too many players on the field and interchanges.

I would prefer to have an interchange like Ice hockey to improve interchanges when courts only have a very small door to get on and off the court.

In ice hockey, players are substituted "on the fly," meaning a substitution can occur even in the middle of play as long as proper protocol is followed (under typical ice hockey rules, the substituting player cannot enter the ice until the substituted player is within a short distance of the bench and not actively playing the puck)

I think something like this works better for our game as it is very similar to ice hockey. 

 

Comment 11 Jan 18:54

Incorrect equipment: Not only regarding to rules 14B.2, 14B.3, 14B.5. As I mentioned  some weeks before "And in addition against the new safety rules for clothing (14B.11.x)", see passed proposal.  Normally I can't see a need to sent a player off for 2 min.

If a player tries repeatedly to cheat and hope the referee is not seeing it the referee should penalise this player for 2 min. Only for the purpose of a warning the risk to be penalised with 2 min we can write it down.

If someone is using an oversize tyre or incorrect stick in an "A tournament" surely the other team would expect more than the person being replaced as punishment. Everyone in A tournaments should know the rules and obey them and at that level I would expect anyone with illegal sticks wheels to be doing it knowingly.

In a C tournament it is less of an issue.

 However, if the player who get out and the player who comes in stay together on the field for many seconds, I see an offence which we can penalize with 2 minutes.

I agree

 

5min > "Violent conduct against other players or spectators". Here we should add "team officials". (e.g. trainer, coach, bank coach, maybe a parent)

Perhaps we should just say violent conduct against anyone in venue haha.

 

Comment 12 Jan 03:10

I think "intentional" is the key word here. If you add "intentional" to
the incorrect equipment and also to the 6 players, then it is fine for
me:

2 minutes:

- Intentional usage of incorrect equipment regarding rules...

- Intentionally having too many player on the field

Comment 12 Jan 14:58

I agree with

• Violent conduct against other players, their team officials or spectators

I do not really like the added word INTENTIONAL for incorrect equipment and too many players on the field. However, I prefer to have this two points including this addition instead of delete them completely.

Comment 14 Jan 06:42

Even if we might have some small changes it would make sense to bring this to proposal. Nicolai could you do this please?

Comment 14 Jan 06:54

Neither Christian nor I are 100 % happy but using the 2 min penalty for incorrect equipment and 6 players if it was intentional is an acceptable compromise for both of us.

Yes, please create the proposal.

Comment 14 Jan 08:54

I just created a proposal.

I deleted the cross references to the equipment (regarding rules 14B.2, 14B.3, 14B.5 (in case of broken equipment the player should be sent off for duration of time that it takes them to replace or repair equipment) because I think its not necessary in the guidelines.

We can do some small changes also when the proposal is in the review stage therefore I would be happy if you can accept my proposal Rolf.

Comment 14 Jan 10:00

OK, done.

Is there a difference between "Violent conduct" and "violence"?
If not, can we use the term "violence" also for the 5 min
penalty?

Comment 14 Jan 17:00

2 min

"Intentional usage of incorrect equipment"

Now for the third time.

The passed proposal: 14B.11.x Clothing

All items that protrude from the body that may cause injury (for example
watches, necklaces, earrings) must be removed. In instances where this
is impossible, the items must be covered sufficiently to remove
likelihood of injury. Shoes must be worn and shoe laces must be short or
tucked in. The following optional clothing is suggested: knee pads,
gloves, helmets, safety glasses and dental protection.

 

Therefore:

"Intentional usage of incorrect equipment and clothing"

Comment 15 Jan 05:29

Sorry that I didn't see that. I agree. 

Comment 15 Jan 06:27

14B.7.5 Penalty Box

The Referee can send a player o the field for two minutes

 

this should be "off"
