Fautes de jeu

10 règles

1. 26Croisement

   Nobody may cross a player who has the line of the ball unless far enough away that there is no chance of a collision or danger.

2. 27Ligne de la balle

   Who has the right to the ball: two riders riding each other off on the line, then a single player on the line with the ball on their right, then the smaller angle.

3. 28Droit de passage

   What happens to the right of way when the ball is deflected, when a player hits it towards an opponent, and when a player hits it past an opponent riding alongside.

4. 29Porter la balle

   A player may carry or strike the ball with the body once per play; doing it again is a free hit from the spot against them.

5. 30Usage incorrect du maillet

   When a stick may be hooked, and only below the shoulder in the act of striking; no hitting one's own pony with the stick; no dangerous stick.

6. 31Jeu brutal

   No grabbing, and no striking or pushing with the head, hand, forearm or elbow; pushing with the upper arm is allowed with the elbow kept in.

7. 32Blocage

   Nobody may block the opponent marking the player about to restart play, nor block a defender within two horse lengths of a slowed player in possession.

8. 33Équitation dangereuse

   The AAP's list of dangerous riding: bad ride-offs, zig-zagging, pulling across, pushing an opponent into a cross, intimidating and sandwiching.

9. 34Conduite antisportive, cravache et frappes dangereuses

   What counts as misconduct before, during and after a match, how much a player may use the whip, and when a hard hit into an opponent is a foul.

10. 35Retard du jeu

    A player who slows down to fish for a foul is told 'play the ball' and has 5 seconds to get rid of it; a defender stuck across the line is told to clear it.
