Downed Pivot On The Pivot Line
October 26, 2010
Q:
What does "on the Pivot line" mean in 4.2.2 and 4.2.3?
A:
On the Pivot line means on the Pivot line. A Pivot is considered on the line if any part of her body, skates or equipment is touching the line. Per 4.2.3 a Non-Pivot Blocker is required to line up behind a Pivot who is on the Pivot line.
If a Pivot is not on the Pivot line, Non-Pivot Blockers are not required to line up behind her.
Applicable Rules
4.2.3 Non-Pivot Blocker Starting Positions: Blockers line up behind the Pivots as demarked by the hips.
Real. Strong. Athletic. Revolutionary.
