and knees;

7:3 take a maximum of 3 steps with the ball; one step is considered taken when:
a) a player who is standing with both feet on the floor lifts one foot and puts it down again, or moves
one foot from one place to
another;
b) a player is touching the floor with one foot only, catches the ball and then touches the floor with the
other foot;
c) a player after a jump touches the floor with one foot only, and then hops on the same foot or
touches the floor with the other foot;

goalkeeper-throw for one‘s own team. This is regarded as passive play, which is to be penalized with
a free-throw against the team in possession of the ball unless the passive tendency ceases. The free-throw is taken from the spot where the ball was when play was interrupted.
7:12 When a tendency to passive play is recognized, the forewarning Signal is shown. This gives the
team in possession of the ball the opportunity to change its way of attacking in order to avoid losing
possession. If the way of attacking does not change after the forewarning signal has been shown, or no
shot on goal is taken, then a free-throw is called against the team in possession.

prior forewarning signal, e.g. when a player intentionally refrains from trying to utilize a clear scoring
chance.

8) Fouls and Unsportsmanlike Conduct
It is permitted to:
8:1 a) use arms and hands to block or gain possession of the ball;
b) Use an open hand to play the ball away from the opponent from any direction;
c) Use the body to obstruct an opponent, even when the opponent is not in possession of the ball;
d) Make body contact with an opponent, when facing him and with bent arms, and maintain this
contact in order to monitor and follow the opponent.
It is not permitted to:
8:2
a) Pull or hit the ball out of the hands of an opponent;
b) Block or force away an opponent with arms, hands or legs;
c) Restrain or hold (body or uniform), push, run or jump into an opponent;
d) Endanger an opponent (with or without the ball).
8:3
Violations of Rule 8:2 may occur in the struggle for the ball; however, violations where the action is
mainly or exclusively directed at the opponent and not at the ball, are to be punished ‗progressively‘.
This means that, in addition to a free-throw or 7-meter throw, there is also a need for a personal
punishment, beginning with a warning, followed by increasingly severe punishments, such as
suspensions and disqualifications.
However, the referees have the right to determine that a particular violation warrants an immediate 2-minute suspension, even if the player did not previously have a warning.
8:4 Physical and verbal expressions that are incompatible with the spirit of good sportsmanship are
regarded as constituting unsportsmanlike conduct (for example see Clarification No. 5). This applies
to both players and team officials on or off the playing court. Progressive punishment also applies in
the case of unsportsmanlike conduct.
8:5 A player who endangers the opponent's health when attacking him, shall be disqualified
particularly if he:
a) From the side or from behind, either strikes or pulls back the throwing arm of a player who is in the
process of throwing or passing the ball;
b) takes any action resulting in the opponent being struck on the head or neck;
c) Deliberately hits the body of an opponent with his foot or knee or in any other way; this includes
tripping;
d) pushes an opponent who is running or jumping, or attacks him in such a way that the opponent
loses control of his body; this also applies when a goalkeeper leaves his goal area in connection with a
counter-attack from the opponents;
e) hits a defending player in the head with a free-throw taken as a direct shot on goal, assuming that
the defending player was not moving; or similarly, hits the goalkeeper in the head with a 7-meter
throw, assuming that the goalkeeper was not moving.
8:6 Seriously unsportsmanlike conduct by a player or team official on or outside the court shall be
punished with disqualification.
8:7 A player who is guilty of assault during the playing time shall be excluded. Assault outside the
playing time leads to a disqualification. A team official who is guilty of assault shall be disqualified.

9) Scoring
9:1 A goal is scored when the entire ball has completely crossed the goal line, provided that no
violation of the rules has been committed by the thrower, a teammate or a team official before or
during the throw. A goal shall be awarded if there is a violation of the rules by a defender but the ball
still goes into the goal. A goal cannot be awarded if a referee has interrupted the game before the ball
has completely crossed the goal line. A goal shall be awarded to the opponents if a player plays the
ball into his own goal, except in the situation where a goalkeeper is executing a goalkeeper-throw.
9:2 A goal that has been awarded can no longer be disallowed, once the referee has blown the whistle
for the subsequent throw-off to be taken. (See, however, Rule 2:9 Comment).
The referees must make clear (without a throw-off) that they have awarded a goal, if the signal for the
end of a half sounds immediately after a goal is scored and before a throw-off can be taken.

10) The 7-Meter Throw
14:1 A 7-meter throw is awarded when:
a) A clear chance of scoring is illegally destroyed anywhere on the court by a player or a team official
of the opposing team;
b) There is an unwarranted whistle signal at the time of a clear chance of scoring;
c) A clear chance of scoring is destroyed through the interference of someone not participating in the
game, for instance a spectator entering the court or stopping the players through a whistle signal By
analogy, this rule also applies in the case of a ‗force majeure‘, such as a sudden electrical failure, that
stops the game precisely during a clear chance of scoring.

11) The Punishments
1.  All punishments given by the referee must be followed respectively.

12) The Referees
1.  Only 1 referee will be in-charge during a game.
2.  Referee will be selected based on availability (DESCENDING priority):
  Club, National handball player.
  Handball Coach
  University‘s Handball player.
  Teachers from Department of Physical Training and Sports
3.  The referee will have full professional authorities in judging and conducting the game.
4.  Any orders from the referee must be followed and obeyed throughout the game play.

Players Nominated As Substitutes
A team may nominate no more than six replacements/substitutes. Match Organizers may vary
the number of players nominated as replacements/substitutes. A team can substitute or
replace any number of players during a game at any time.
Players entering the field of play must do so at the half way line after the replaced or
substituted player has left the field of play.

Sanction: Penalty Kick where the game would have restarted.

Time - Duration Of A Match
A match lasts no longer than twenty minutes plus lost time and extra time. A match is divided
into two halves of not more than ten minutes playing time. Match Organizers may vary the
duration of the match.
Half Time
After half time, the teams change ends. There is an interval of not more than two minutes.


Playing Extra Time – only apply for finals
When there is a drawn match and the competition structure requires extra time, after a break
of one minute the extra time is played in periods of five minutes. After each period, the teams
change ends without an interval.
Before extra time starts, the referee organizes a toss. One of the captains tosses a coin and the
other captain calls to see who wins the toss. The winner of the toss decides whether to kick
off or choose an end. If the winner of the toss decides to choose an end, the opponents must
kick off and vice versa.
During extra time, the team that scores points first is immediately declared the winner,
without any further play.

Taking A Conversion Kick
The kick must be a drop kick. The kicker must take the kick within forty seconds of a try
having been scored. The kick is disallowed if the kicker does not take the kick in the time
allowed.

Foul Play - Temporary Suspension
When a player has been temporarily suspended, the player‘s period of suspension will be for
a period of two minutes.

Kick-Off And Restart Kicks
After a score, the team that has scored kicks off with a drop kick which must be taken at or
behind the centre of the half way line.
Sanction: Free Kick at the centre of the half way line.
All the opposing team must assemble close to their own 10-metre line. The entire kicker‘s
team must be behind the ball when it is kicked. If they are not, a free kick is awarded to the
non-offending team at the centre of the half way line.

Kick-Off Of Under 10 Meters And Not Played By An Opponent
If the ball does not reach the opponents‘ 10-metre line, a free kick is awarded to the non-offending team at the centre of the half way line.

Sanction: Free Kick at the centre of the half way line.
Ball Goes Directly Into Touch
The ball must land in the field of play. If it is kicked directly into touch, a free kick is
awarded to the non-offending team at the centre of the half way line.
Sanction: Free Kick at the centre of the half way line.


Ball Goes Into the In-Goal
If the opposing team grounds the ball, or if they make it dead, or if the ball becomes dead by
going into touch-in-goal or on or over the dead ball line a free kick is awarded to the non-offending team at the centre of the half way line.

Sanction: Free Kick at the centre of the half way line.

Scrum - Definitions
A scrum is formed in the field of play when 3 players from each team, bound together in one
row for each team, close up with their opponents so that the heads of the front rows are
interlocked. This creates a tunnel into which a scrum half throws in the ball so that front row
players can compete for possession by hooking the ball with either of their feet.

Forming A Scrum
Number of players: 3.
A scrum must have 3 players from each team at all times. All 3 players must stay bound to
the scrum until it ends. Each front row must have three players in it, no more and no less.

Sanction: Penalty kick

Ending A Scrum
No player in the scrum may unbind to play the ball. The scrum ends when the referee
indicates that the ball is out.

Sanction: Penalty kick

How Penalty And Free Kicks Are Taken
Any player may take a penalty or free kick awarded for an infringement with any kind of
kick: punt, drop kick but not a place kick. The ball may be kicked with any part of the leg
from below the knee to the toe but not with the heel.

Penalty And Free Kick Options And Requirements
No delays. If a kicker indicates to the referee the intention to kick at goal, the kick must be
taken within thirty seconds of the penalty having been awarded. If the 30 seconds is exceeded
the kick is disallowed, a scrum is ordered at the place of the mark and the opponents throw in
the ball.


Tournament play rules
Group Play
Depending on how many teams make up the field, tournaments start with group round-robin
play. For instance, if 8 teams are in the field, they are divided into 2 groups of four. Each
team plays the other three in its group, receiving three points for a win, two for a tie, one for a
loss and zero for a no-show. A bonus of 1 point is given to the team that made 3 tries in a
game. Ex: Team A 5 tries 2 conversions, team B 3 tries. Team A would receive 3 points for
the win plus 1 bonus point for try more than 3 while team B receives 1 point for losing and 1
bonus point for 3 try.

Group Champions
Whichever team tallies the most points at the end of group play is declared the group
champion and advances to the semifinals against the winner of another group.
The two semifinal winners then play for the overall championship, with the semifinal losers
typically playing a consolation match.
Tie breakers
If in any case a total point tie is found in the grouping stage, the group 1st and 2ndare
determined by these orders.
1.  Total match won
2.  Total tries
3.  Head to head
MAY THE BEST GENTLEMEN WIN

player in possession of the ball.

(i)   If the player's landing, grounded or pivoting foot remains on the
ground, the distance is measured from that foot to the nearer foot of
