in a hand off what is the definition of an open hand? is it fully openor can the fingers be bent in half?
Ian
If players bend their fingers -
a) they can break them and
b) they can cause injury to opponents.
I would suggest you ensure that all players have an open hand in the hand off and that means fingers splayed.
I hope that helps
