Defensive player cannot block a goal with hand on wall, offensive player cannot score with hand on wall.

In other words, no hands on wall within the goal.

My cranks are properly fucked. Not surprisingly, hammering the cotterpin back in with a brick didn't seem to do the trick last night. Courtside mechanics at its low point.

My new cranks and BB (all built this millennium) arrive Tuesday, at which point I expect my polo playing will improve dramatically.

That's the rule, I reckon.

What about foot on the steps?

A foot down on the flat is exactly that a foot down so you should tap out in my opinion.

Yeah, I was experimenting - that was the second mallet I made. I don't like it, but if James does, that's cool - god knows he likes to have a moan about most things...

Yeah, I agree, but then I was thinking about the times when I had my foot on something other than the pedal (like Dale's chainstay, for instance) and it wasn't a tap-out...

I disagree. Foot on the step is like putting your foot against the wall in a corner which is legal.

Saying that, I've both used the step in that way and not tapped out, and I've caught myself from falling over by stepping on the step and did tap out...

Foot on step = bad
foot on Dale (or Dale's bike) = good?

think it should be a case of verticals and horisontals

horisontal = bad

Vertical= good

Well, Dale's bike was horizontal when I put my foot on it. Should that have been a tap-out?

We all know that putting you foot on something that unstable (dale on a bike) is not an advantage to be hones

I'll get a broom and bring it up - say around 6? I was thinking that it could be left behind the wall. And we can sort out the posts at the same time.
