[size=6][/sizeFirst of all, our team from I Love Produce (Neil, Eric and myself) had a great time as usual last Tuesday at Fat Cat. I only wish we lived close enough to make it more often. Victor, thanks for running a fun event!

So here is my question about a rule that came up during the tourney.

Rob and I were playing Sean and Danny. Rob attempted a pass from his 5 bar to his 3 bar along the far wall, and Sean trapped the ball against the wall, and in the process of doing so snapped the man in half. As a result, the ball trickled through and landed softly on Rob's 3-bar.

Play was stopped, and after some discussion it was determined the ball would belong to Sean on his 5-bar after the repair was made.

This seamed like a double penalty on us, because not only did we lose possession on the 3-rod, but we lost the possession altogether through no fault of our own.

Logically speaking, breaking a man against the wall would also cause a jar. But because it was such a surprising action, and the ball ended up on Rob's 3-bar, I never considered calling one.

If we had the wherewithal to call a jar under these circumstances, would that have meant the ball on our five-rod instead of on Sean's 5-rod?

Just curious what the foos community thinks on this....

By the way, Rob was great last week in all facets of the game, plus a great partner - thanks Rob!

Thanks for the analysis Victor, what you explained makes total sense.
