Whats the ruling on.....

[Charlie]

Ok I don't know if this is the right place to put this but..... What is the ruling on getting shot on the squeegie? I mean if you are runing along and a ball clips your squeegie, are you out? Its just that it is quite a hard thing to see if you are a marshall, and if they do pick it up how can they tell the difference between paint on the squeegie after you have squeegied your barrel and paint from a shot?

I don't think it's specifically itemized in the rule books because of the sheer improbability of that ever happening, but the way the rest of everything else is addressed the ruling would be as follows. If it is in your possession, it's an attached piece of equipment and thus part of your person. You would be out, but not without both you, the refs, and anyone else watching saying at least three or four times "Geez...that's like, impossible."

I was watching a friend of mine playing in the dorito at a practice a couple of weeks ago and his squeegie was sticking up just enough that a ball caught it.....the ref saw it and pulled him.

He carried it onto the field and it was attached to him when it got shot....and the mark was big enough.... sucked to be him but it was funny as anything

I thought it would be something like that. I remember a similar thing to Billteamdirt happening at the temple.

If it was your barrel with the shot on would you be out !.

So why do you think it would be different.

To make it clear YES you would be out.

whilst playing in the norwegian masters 2000 an opposing player put his squeegie on the floor to the side of him, we shot it and as it is regarded as part of a players kit he was eliminated. most rules as we all know say the only on field kit you can deliberately discard is your pots, so whether you have the squeegie on you or not should not matter as to your elimination.

I thought that it was pots AND squeegies that were discardable? I shall have to check up now, maybe it's time to start mugging peoples squeegies!

 

[Gogger]

You know the tiny plastic zip ties that fasten your players pass to your mask? Well, I saw a guy pulled for a hit on the sticky out bit of one of them.

Hits on squeegees count - hits on discarded squeegees don't, as long the player doesn't pick it up again. Same thing goes for pods, if a player carries an extra one onto the field and puts it down at his primary, it then gets hit and he picks it up to use it, he is out - if he leaves it alone he is still in.
