Distances 2 (Closed for comments)

Started
In this discussion here (https://iuf-rulebook-2025.committees.unicycling-software.com/discussions/30), it was suggested to also increase the distance where the goalkeeper has to be during a 6.5m to 1m.
I wonder whether we should also increase the distances the other players have to be during a face-off and free shot. Just as a comparison: in floorball, the distance is 3m for a free shot while in ice hockey, the circle of the face-off spot has a radius of 4.5m.
Comment
Instead of "~the goal keeper must sit with the ... unicycle within 0.5 m of the goal line." we should give the goal keeper the freedom to move within XX (e.g. 2m) of the goal line.
I general agree. All other non executing players should keep a min. distance of 2m from the 6.5m shot executing player (same distance by free shot or face-off).
Comment
Agree with both. For the goal keeper I think 1m should be sufficient. 2m seems too much as it is only 6.5m distance at all.
Comment
I support the proposal to increase the minimum distance for non-executing players during free shots and similar situations from the current 1 meter to 2 meters. This would give the executing player sufficient space and a better opportunity to perform the free shot effectively.
Regarding the goalkeeper area, I think increasing the allowed distance from 0.5 meters to 1 meter makes sense. However, expanding it to 2 meters would likely be excessive for the 6.5-meter shot and could significantly reduce its effectiveness. A distance of 1 meter provides adequate room for the goalkeeper without disproportionately shifting the balance of play.
Comment
i agrre with the idea to increase the distance for the goalkeeper from 0.5m to 1m. In reality the distance from the Goalkeeper is more then 0.5m.
For all other Free shots, face-off... i think 2m distance is enough. But if all other think we should increase the Distanc to 3m i'm also fine with it.
Comment
The current distance for goalie to goalline is given as 0.5 m. We are looking to change that to 1m
The current distance of other players from the player taking the 6.5m penalty is not described just that players must be behind the 6.5 m line.
I propose we add the distance requiring players to be clear by 2m. If we are putting a change allowing the player executing the 6.5 to immediately hit any rebounds, then I am hesitant to then give them a 6m diameter circle clear of opposition. I think 4m clear of opposition should be enough space to execute a 6.5 m
Comment
I have put in a proposal however if people believe 3m is better we can change it

a discussion for the proposal can be found here. If people feel strongly about 3m distance
