How should gains in a teammate’s relative position be considered in assessing if a penalty is warranted? A major penalty should be assessed when, amongst other things, an illegal action causes the gain of relative position for the initiator of the block or their teammate involved in the action. The officials should use their discretion to determine which players are involved in the action, and include all such players as markers in determining a player’s relative position, not simply the initiator of the block and receiver. In order to determine the loss of relative position, the official should observe actual advantage gained, not simply the opportunity for advantage to change. An official should issue a penalty as soon as advantage is illegally gained; there is no ability to yield the advantage gained and “undo” the penalty. A major for causing a loss of relative position should only be called if there has been advantage gained due directly to an illegally committed action. Some examples of gaining an advantage due to an illegal action are: Gaining points/passes (illegal advantage gained by the Jammer) Blocker improving position by moving in front of a wall (illegal advantage gained by the Blocker). In order for a penalty to be assessed, there has to be an advantage gained. So if a skater is illegally pushed out of the wall, the skater that committed the foul would also need to gain positioning on the others involved in the action (i.e., move in front of their hips).
