Question 1
Blue is not outside her assigned end of the starting line at the preparatory
signal. As a result Yellow is able to prevent her from crossing the line
within the two-minute period. Blue did not cross the line from the course
side before starting. What should the umpires do?
Answer 1
Impose two penalties on Blue. One is for breaking rule C4.1, because she
was not outside her assigned end; the other is for breaking rule C4.2,
because she did not cross the line from the course side within the two-minute
period. These rules were broken in two separate incidents, and therefore
each requires a penalty. |
