Im August 2019 wurden bei der ‚World Lacrosse‘ Generalversammlung Regeländerungen und Erläuterungen herausgearbeitet. Diese wurden von ‚World Lacrosse‘ angenommen und traten am 1. Januar 2020 in Kraft.

Bei uns treten die Neuerungen erst ab der Saison 2020/2021 in Kraft. Das neue Regelwerk und eine neue Erläuterung für Regeln 18 (‚Goal Circle Rules and Penalties‘) und 21 (‚Major Foul Rule and Penalties‘) könnt Ihr Euch unten herunterladen.

Alle Veränderungen im Überblick:

(die folgenden Regeln sind aus dem offiziellen World Lacrosse Regelwerk übernommen)

Rule 1 Field Markings:
‚Hanging Hashes‘ und 15m Fächer wird es nicht mehr geben.

Rule 11 Duration of Play:
The umpire’s whistle starts and stops play. When the whistle sounds to stop play, all players may move.

Rule 13 Start and Restart of the Game:
Self Start: Following a whistle for a major or minor foul outside the 11m advantage flag area, the player who is awarded the free position may continue to play when both her feet are stationary on the ground and the ball is in her Crosse, without waiting for an additional whistle.

When the ball is out of bounds, including the sides and end lines, the player awarded the ball will place the ball in her Crosse and stand 2m inside the boundary from the spot where the ball went out of bounds and may self start. All opponents must give the player awarded the ball at least 1m free/clear space (stick/body and feet).

Self start is not an option when:
– the game clock is stopped;
– there is a restraining line violation;
– there is an illegal draw;
– major or minor fouls occurring in the including goal circle fouls.

Rule 18 Goal Circle Rules and Penalties
The defensive player/s marking an opponent within a stick’s length may move through the goal circle within 3 seconds when their team is not in possession of the ball.
Guidance: Only a defensive player who is directly marking an opponent within a stick’s length may be in the goal circle.

Rule 22 Avantage Flag
The Advantage Flag is a held whistle for a major foul committed by the defense when the attacking team is on a ‘scoring play’ inside the 11m advantage flag area. A scoring play is a continuous effort by the attacking team to move the ball toward the goal to complete a shot.

Außerdem gibt es neue Regelungen zum Schläger. Diese findet Ihr detailliert unter ‚Rule 3‘ im Regelwerk.
