a) alone is sufficient to determine that Red top right is fouling Blue. b) and d) compound the foul. Blue has an unassailable ROW since he is in the right on all four factors.
7. No foul. Red avoids entry into the ROW and does not cross the LOB.
No foul in terms of the ROW rules. The umpires may believe that Red intimidated Blue or made a reckless and risky maneuver and award a foul to Blue on those grounds. This would depend on speeds and apparent competence of the riders.
8. Red fouls.
Blue
a) is taking the ball offside
b) is following the ball
c) is at a very small angle to or exactly on the LOB
d) has the LOB on his right
Red
a) is taking the ball nearside
b) is definitely meeting the ball
c) is at a small angle to the LOB
d) has the LOB on his left
a), b) and d) all determine the case against Red. Blue has an unassailable ROW since he is in the right on all four factors.
9. Red fouls. Entering the ROW and crossing the LOB without sufficient room to make it safe.
Blue
a) is taking the ball offside
b) is following the ball
c) is at a very small angle to or exactly on the LOB
d) has the LOB on his right
Red
a) is taking the ball offside
b) is definitely meeting the ball
c) is at a larger angle to the LOB
d) has the LOB on his left
b), c), and d) all favor Blue. Red does clear Blues ROW before a collision could occur, but if the play appears too close for safety in the opinion of the umpires, they may justifiably call a foul on Red.
10. No foul. Red entered the ROW with plenty of time to get flattened out on the line.
Blue
a) is taking the ball offside
b) is following the ball
c) is at a very small angle to or exactly on the LOB
d) has the LOB on his right
Red
a) is taking the ball offside
b) is definitely meeting the ball
c) is at a larger angle to the LOB but has time and distance to turn parallel to the LOB
d) has the LOB on his left but crosses the ROW and the LOB at a safe distance
b), c), and d) all favor Blue. Red does clear Blue’s ROW well before a collision could occur, but if the play appears too close for safety in the opinion of the umpires, they may justifiably call a foul on Red. This is not as close a case as Video 9, and should not be called a foul if Blue does not need to brake to avoid Red.
11. Red fouls by crossing Blue's ROW.
Blue
a) is taking the ball nearside
b) is following the ball
c) is at a very small angle to or exactly on the LOB
d) has the LOB on his left
Red
a) is taking the ball offside
b) is neither definitely meeting nor following the ball (he will appear to be meeting the ball at a large angle to most observers)
c) is at a larger angle to the LOB
d) It is indeterminate whether he has the LOB on his left. It will appear to most observers tracking the ball that he has it on his right.
Rule 15(f)(i) requires Blue to take the ball offside, since Red could make a clean play from his position if Blue did so. If Red stopped short of the LOB, he would draw a foul on Blue. However, Red continues across the LOB to block Blue’s ROW no matter what Blue does, so the foul is on Red.
12. Red fouls. Blue did not hit the ball out of the ROW and has right to the ball. Blue must give red room to clear the old line if he can. If red is going to attempt to platy the ball he must keep it on his left and NOT cross the LOB.
Blue, after the tap that turns the LOB
a) is taking the ball offside
b) is following the ball
c) is at a very small angle the LOB
d) has the LOB on his right
Red, after the tap
a) crosses the LOB and enters Blue’s ROW to take the ball offside
b) is following the ball
c) is at approximately the same angle with respect to the LOB as Blue
d)has the LOB on his left initially, and crosses the LOB while overlapped with Blue.
c) decides the case in favor of Blue.
Red could execute his move legally if
1) Blue failed to stay within reach of the LOB for long enough that Red could safely cross the LOB and establish a ROW without endangering Blue, in the opinion of the umpires.
2) Red got far enough ahead of Blue to safely cross the LOB and establish a ROW without endangering Blue, in the opinion of the umpires.
