Go to 2007 Umpires Briefing
Penalty Corner
- Positioning is critical – sell decisions
- Manage the set up – including the meetings on the top of the circle or in defence
- Breaking at penalty corners – allow the same for the whole match, but manage early
- Apply the drag flick interpretations
- Co-operation needed if runner is hit – above or below the knee?
- Position of disengaged umpire should allow support of colleague on the height and direction of the shot, the possibility of suicide runners and possible obstruction of runners
- When the ball is missing the goal and the defender is hit high on the body, decision is a free hit to the defence
