mrv86 2,940 Posted November 3, 2018 #38 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Quote Winners will qualify for the Pan American Games (Peru is already qualified which means Brazil will get another chance if it loses today). For that to happen, Brazil must either miss the transportation to the venue or play with only a goalkeeper dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumo 2,821 Posted December 10, 2018 #39 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Today the FINA Extraordinary Congress in Hangzhou (CHN) approved the new Water Polo rules. 161 voted yes, 6 voted no, and 2 were absent. The rule changes approved by the FINA Extraordinary Congress were: • The possession time to be reset to 20 seconds after a) a corner throw awarded; b) a rebound after a shot which does not cause change of possession and c) after an exclusion. • Inside the 6m area, when a player is swimming with and/or holding the ball and is impeded (attacked) from behind during an attempt to shoot, a penalty foul must be awarded (unless only the ball is touched by the defender). • Free throw shall be taken from the location of the ball (except if the foul is committed inside the 2m line). • A goal may be scored from a free throw awarded outside 6 metres from a direct shot or after fake or dribble or putting the ball on the water. (Referees shall use signals if the foul happened outside the 6m line.) • A player taking a corner throw may shoot directly or swim and shoot without passing or pass to another player. • An additional substitution re-entry area will be at any place between the goal line and the centre field line for flying substitutions. • Each team may request 2 time-outs during the game at any time while possessing the ball – and a time-out calling device (button) should be used to call a time-out. • The goalkeeper is allowed to move beyond and touch the ball past the half distance line. • There shall be a 3-minute interval between the second and third period. • The use of audio equipment by the game referees. • The use of game video monitoring system to identify and sanction incidents of brutality or extreme violence that occurred but were not appropriately punished or identified during a game. • The use of video monitoring system to determine goal or no goal (where available).
