Proposal 14: 14B.6.1 Free Shot - Delay of game penalty exception [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: HockeySubmitted on 2018-12-28
Status: Passed on February 07, 2019
Background
I believe this exception needs to go under free shot not under penalties as it describes an exception to the placing of the ball for a penalty.
Proposal
Old Rule
14B.6.1 Free Shot
The free shot is the standard penalty for all violations of the rules. It is applied in all cases except for those explicitly mentioned in sections 14B.6.2-14B.6.4. The free shot is executed from the point where the violation was done. Exceptions: If a team gets a free shot within the opponents’ goal area, the free shot is executed at the closest corner mark (corner shot). If a team gets a free shot within their own goal area, the free shot is done at a distance of 1m in front of the goal line (goalkeeper’s ball).
The free shot is indirect. The player executing the free shot may only touch the ball once until a contact by another player occurs. The ball shall be hit with the stick, not dragged, flicked or lifted on the stick. Opposing players must keep a distance with their unicycles and their sticks of at least 2.0m from the ball.

In the instance that a delay of game penalty is given, the penalty will be taken from the center mark.

Body
I think this English is better. I think it should be placed under free shot not penalties..
