Proposal 119: 14.C.2.7 Referee Hand Signs - Technical Errors [ Revision 1 ]

Committee: 14. Hockey
Submitted on 2025-07-20
Status: Failed on August 09, 2025

Some common fouls have no referee hand sign to show. Players and the other referee and timekeeper)are confused why play is stopped.

In this case

+ false start after a goal (defender or defenders stick crosses the middle line before ball or attacker crosses middle line) (floorball sign 922)

+ wrong free shot (double contact of player conducting free shot) (floorball sign 922)

+ players start play (free shot, restart after goal) before the referee reopens play with a whistle blow. (floorball sign 922)

+ wrong substitution (wrong place, wrong number of players) (floorbal sign 922)

New addition:

14.C.2.7 Referee Hand Signs

"Technical error"

Early start of play (players start to play (free shot, restart after goal) before the referee reopens play with a whistle blow)
False start after a goal (defender or defenders stick crosses the middle line before ball or attacker crosses middle line)
Wrong free shot (double contact of player conducting free shot)
Wrong substitution (wrong place, wrong number of players)
Execution: Both hands are rotated around each other at breast height. Palms are pointing down.

An established referee hand sign in floorball can be incorporated into the unicycle hockey rules.
