6.8 To touch or hold the post
Whenever a player touches or holds the post with any part of the body and:
- It influences the result of a shot (intentionally or unintentionally);
- uses it for jumping higher, running, change direction or to move away quickly.
When an attacker moves the post during a shot:
- if the movement is intentional, a re-start will be awarded to the defence;
- if the movement is unintentional without a goal, the referee should play-on.
When a defender moves the post during a shot:
- if the ball goes through the korf, the goal counts even if the referee has already blown for this offence;
- if the movement of the post might have prevented a goal, a penalty will be awarded to the attack;
- if the movement is intentional without the possible loss of a goal, a free pass will be awarded to the attack;
- if the movement is unintentional without the possible loss of a goal, it’s play on.
