3/3 Structure

Teams must have 3 outfield players in each half at all times.

 

Advanced Mark

Attacking marks can only be claimed inside the 20m line, forward gets an advantage to ‘go for goal.’

 

Scoring Arc & System

 

2 points for a score outside new 40m arc from play and frees. Goals remain as 3 points, points inside arc worth 1. New orange flag for 2-pointers.

 

Solo & Go

A player who is fouled has the option of continuing play by taking a ‘solo and go’ rather than pausing to take a free.

 

Delay Fouling

 

Ball is advanced 50m (up to 13m line) for any foul which purposefully & deliberately delays play.

 

Black Card

Black card fouls now include other obvious examples of cynical fouling.

 

1Fouls

Player fouled inside the arc can choose to bring the free outside the 40m arc to avail of a 2-pointer.
3rd or subsequent players into a melee will receive a black card.

 

Advantage

Allows referees to play a longer advantage if they believe it merits it.

 

Dissent

A show of dissent by challenging the referee’s decision results in the free already awarded being moved up 50m.

 

Captains

Team captains are the only players who can speak to the referee to seek clarification of a decision made by the ref. Clarification only allowed during a break in play.

 

Pitch Markings

New lines on all pitches to facilitate new rules: 40m arc required infront of each goal and a dashed line between the two 65s to indicate the middle of the field.

 

Public Clock & Hooter

Clock-hooter system for timekeeping & to signal the end of each half.

 

Lines Umpires
