Rule Changes 2015

Surrey Hockey Umpire Association

What are the Rule Changes for 2015?

• Breaking at a penalty corner
• Two minute green card
• Use of the stick above the shoulder
• Long corner
  • Re-start after the ball has been unintentionally played over the back-line by a defender (and no goal is scored)
• Free hits within 5m of the circle
• Up 10m rule
• Encouraging umpires to officiate to the rationale of new rules
  • To encourage the fast pace of our game
  • To allow play to flow more freely

Breaking at a Penalty Corner

• New Rule
  • If a defender, other than the GK, breaks the line then they must go beyond the half-way line and cannot be replaced.
  • If the GK (or kicking back) breaks the line, they do not have to go to half-way. In this case, the defence chooses which of the remaining players do.
  • An attacker who breaks early into the circle is also sent to half-way. The PC is retaken.
  • If the injector feints at playing the ball (or takes the mickey in some other way), then they are sent to half-way. Another attacker injects the re-taken PC.
• Rationale for the change
  • To improve the flow of the game by reducing in the number of early breaks, by both attackers and defenders (but mostly defenders!)

Breaking at a Penalty Corner

• Application of the rule change
  • If during the PC, another PC is given, any player already sent to half-way must stay there for the retaken penalty corner.
  • If a subsequent defender breaks the line at a retaken penalty corner, then that defender is also be sent to half-way (except GK).

Clever Quotes

These guys come in two forms, inline: “The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from” and block:

“For years there has been a theory that millions of monkeys typing at random on millions of typewriters would reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. The Internet has proven this theory to be untrue.”

Intergalactic Interconnections

You can link between slides internally, like this.

Speaker View

There's a speaker view. It includes a timer, preview of the upcoming slide as well as your speaker notes.

Export to PDF

Presentations can be exported to PDF, here's an example:

Global State

Set data-state="something" on a slide and "something" will be added as a class to the document element when the slide is open. This lets you apply broader style changes, like switching the page background.

State Events

Additionally custom events can be triggered on a per slide basis by binding to the data-state name.

Reveal.addEventListener( 'customevent', function() {
	console.log( '"customevent" has fired' );
} );
