Penalty 8: ball thrown in by the umpire
When both teams break the rules at a Penalty 2 or 3, the umpire throws in at the penalty spot; and a slow knock-in is thrown in by the umpire.
When both sides simultaneously break the laws governing the taking of Penalty 2 or 3, the umpire shall put the ball into play at the place where the penalty was to be taken, with a throw-in, leaving the good side to the team that took the penalty.
Original text
Cuando los dos bandos simultáneamente infringen las leyes que regulan la ejecución del Penal 2 o del 3, el juez pondrá en juego la bocha en el lugar en que debía tirarse el penal, con un throw-in, dejando el lado bueno al equipo que ejecutó el penal.
The throw-in: the teams line up 5 yards in front of the umpire, each behind its side of the line, and the umpire throws the ball hard along the ground between them. - At least 20 m from the boards
- Players 5 yd in front of the umpire
- An imaginary line keeps the teams at least 60 cm apart
- The umpire throws the ball hard along the ground between the two lines
KNOCK-IN BY THE UMPIRE If there is an unjustified delay in taking the knock-in, the Umpire shall blow the whistle and bowl the ball hard, along the ground and at right angles to the back line, from where the knock-in was to have been taken, the sides lining up in the same position as for a throw-in, but facing the back line and 5 metres from it; the defending side shall line up on the side nearer the goal.
Original text
SAQUE POR EL JUEZ En caso de demora injustificada en efectuarse el saque, el Juez hará sonar el silbato y arrojará la bocha con fuerza, de arrastrón y perpendicularmente a la línea trasera, desde donde hubo de ejecutarse el saque, debiendo colocarse los bandos en igual posición que para un throwin, pero mirando hacia la línea trasera y a 5 metros de ella; el bando defensor se alineará del lado más cercano al arco.
