Scenario · ID 30

The ball goes out of court off the red C close to halfway. The blue WA takes the ball and prepares to take the throw in near to the transverse line. The umpire tells the blue WA to move back towards where the ball went out and indicates this with her arm. The blue WA ignores the umpire and takes the throw in from where she was standing near the transverse line.

Next scenario

Correct decision

The umpire should call not set and award a throw-in to the red team at the point where the original throw in should have been taken.

Explanation

Despite being given both verbal and visual indications from the umpire, the blue WA has chosen to take the throw-in well away from where it should have been taken. She should be penalised under Rule 6.2. In the case of a throw-in, the action is to award a throw-in to the other team.
