Proposal 52: 14B.7.2 6.5m awarded at the end [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: HockeySubmitted on 2017-01-02
Status: Passed on January 21, 2017
Background
If a referee blows his whistle during the play time close to a period end, maybe there is no or not enough time to award the prior situation.
For the moment a period/game ends with a sound from the timer/scoreboard and the referee is unable to penalties afterwards.
Allowing a referee to give a 6.5 after the end of the period/game ensures no teams will commit fouls in the last instances of the game to waste the remaining time.
Proposal
Old:
14B.7.2 6.5 M
...
This paragraph tells us nothing about the time to award a 6.5 m
New:
14B.7.2 6.5 M
...
After the last sentence of the above paragraph the following sentence should be added:
A 6.5 m awarded at the end of, or after a time period has ended is still executed but play does not continue after an unsuccessful shot.
Body
Please see discussion.
