One further change to the NAB Cup rules for 2008 is that at centre bounces, a no-go zone for players will be marked on the surface within which players are not to position themselves when the umpire:
a) is preparing to bounce;
b) is in the act of bouncing; or
c) is exiting via his usual exit path from the stoppage.
The no-go zone will be two-metres wide and extending 6.5m out from the centre of the centre circle. A free kick will be awarded against a player who enters this zone behind the umpire during the above-mentioned times.
hows that for stupid!
so whats happens when the bounce isn't a great one for height and the ball gets palmed down to this 6.5 mt by 2 mt area and the umpire is still exiting via his usual exit path?? what? players have to just stand and watch the ball until the maggot gets out of the way?
