3276: Repositioning match load
<SG7><SG7>[rule:SG7 part e. states once a match load has been released by the loader, they can only touch it again if the head ref determines it was misloaded. SG4 says once an object leaves the field it is consider "out of the field" for the remainder of the match,
So, if a loader releases a properly loaded match load, but decides to "adjust it" by touching it a second time, as stated in SG7f retrieved and reintroduced IF the head referee instructs them to.
My question is, SHOULD the head ref allow them to reintroduce it instead of considering it "out of the field" or should they consider it to be strategic and therefore not allow it?
Per <SG7.f>, if the Head Referee determines that a Bean Bag was Loaded improperly, the Head Referee should instruct the Loader to retrieve the Bean Bag and reintroduce it to the field in accordance with all <SG7> criteria.
<SG4> does not apply here; an improperly Loaded Bean Bag should not be removed from play for the duration of the Match as a result of an <SG7> Violation, regardless of intent. If a Team appears to be intentionally/strategically violating <SG7> for some reason, that would fall under <SG7> Violation note 4, which states that repeated, intentional, or egregious Violations may escalate to a Major Violation at the Head Referee’s discretion.
