Raising The Standard

Operation Of Advantage Rule: Penalise At Umpire's Discretion

KHALSA NARROWLY

BEAT CLUB

EFFICIENT UMPIRING will do much to raise Khalsa the whole standard of hockey in training players to observe the Rules. Efficiency, however does not depend on penfising every breach.

Subject to two paramount considerations, namely, (1) an umpire must obtain and retain complete con- trol of the game,

(2) he must never allow an advantage to be gained by a breach of the Ruler, and the whistle should be used as sparingly as possible.

Hockey Association League Table

To attain this object, it is necessary to make the fullest possible use of the "Advantage 'Rulo” 17 (d). In certain circums- tances, the decision must be de tayed long enough to give this tule time, to operate. But a docialon, when made, should be given decisively and loudly, and R.

It is most important for an un- piro to be in the correct, position, to sso any breaches of the rules, and, In particular to determine accurato- ly whether a player is on-side or oil-nitio.

.

When an attack is developing, the best position is probably close to the touch line, and level with the third dufender. When the ball is inside the

circle, offences such as obstruc- tion are dimeult to detect from a Couch-line position.

An umpire should, therefore, come. in towards the circle and near the goal-line in order to be in the post position.
