Hi. I have a question re: 19.1.3.
19.1.3. If the injury is not the result of contact with an opponent, the player may
choose to be substituted, or may choose to charge their own team with a Time-
Out.What does “charge” mean here precisely? That the player’s team effectively loses a time-out because of this injury call?
Presumably the overall outcome is that if a player calls injury without contacting another player, they must either a) leave the field, or b) their team loses a time-out. Furthermore, I presume that if they choose b) and do not have any time-outs left, the stall is increased by two. If the stall is already higher than 7, what happens? For instance, a player pivots and twists an ankle.
Thanks
Hi Brummie
“Presumably the overall outcome is that if a player calls injury without contacting another player, they must either a) leave the field, or b) their team loses a time-out.”
Correct.
Note: The team doesn’t actually get to take the timeout (ie have a break to discuss tactics etc).“If they choose b) and do not have any time-outs left, the stall is increased by two.”
No. In this instance the player has no choice but to leave the field.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
