With the stick above the shoulder, safety is paramount! "Umpires are waiting too long to make a call for unsafe play." If there are two opposing player receiving, call in the third arc. Any evasive action during the arc should be called immediately, free hit where danger occurred. "If a player is alone, rule doesn't say they can't swing or Bat. But they must play it safely. However swings should be called if players are near. "A player doesn't have to back away from a free hit, but they MAY NOT ENGAGE, (until player progresses 5 yards. "Coaches are now carded for players improper use/ illegal equipment, or lack of, and illegal/improper substitution. "Injury on a corner during regulation game, bully on broken line. Injury during extended Penalty corner (half/or end) FINISH THE CORNER.
