Can someone like Rich Hims please clarify the pick rule.... I was lead to believe that if any player on the field impedes the progress of a defensive player trying to mark their offensive counterpart, the defensive player should call pick so play stops. The defensive player must be within 10 feet (3 meters) of their check to call a pick....
Seems simple and is what is played in the UK but according to the WFDF rules on picks there is no mention of the 3 meter rule when it is discussing picks.... 404.14 Positioning: C. Picks: No player may establish a position, or move in such a manner, so as to obstruct the movement of any player on the opposing team. In the event of a pick, the obstructed player shall immediately call "Pick," loudly. Play shall then be stopped and be resumed only after a check, with the stall count resuming from the point of interruption or to five if the count is over five. So is there another rules which works in conjunction with this rule therefore initiating the 3 meter rule or is it another rule which has changed over the years without officially changing?! PS> have a nasty feeling this could have been discussed before - if so apologies I missed the final decision....
