| 17. |
Reset |
| |
If a player exerts sufficient force on the table to impair the opponent's ability to execute a shot or pass, but the opponent's possession of the ball has not been jeopardized, the official present will call "reset" and the time of possession shall be reset. The player with the ball has the option of setting the ball up again or ignoring the reset call and continuing play from the current position. |
| 17.1 |
Reset |
| |
Any movement of the ball, no matter how slight, may be considered grounds for a reset (example: a ball rocking in place). A reset can be called even if the ball is pinned or moving. |
| 17.2 |
Reset |
| |
A reset call is not considered a distraction, and the player with the ball may shoot immediately. The defensive team should not, therefore, relax or look at the official upon hearing the word "reset," but rather should stay on defense. |
| 17.3 |
Reset |
| |
A reset violation behind the ball shall not be considered a reset violation. It shall be considered a jarring violation. (Example: if the opposing forward is judged to have reset his opponent when the opponent has the ball on the three-man rod.) |
| 17.4 |
Reset |
| |
An intentional reset by the team in possession of the ball for the purposes of attempting to get a reset call from the official shall not be allowed. The team judged to be in violation of this rule shall lose possession and the ball shall be served by the opposing team (This is not counted as a reset). |
| 17.5 |
Reset |
| |
After a team is called for their first reset in a game, a team causing two subsequent resets during the same point will be charged with a technical foul. Once the first reset call is made, upon the next violation the official present will call "reset warning" or just "warning". If there is another reset violation on the same ball following a reset warning a technical foul shall be called. |
| 17.5.1 |
Reset |
| |
If a technical foul is called for excessive resets, the next reset call shall not result in a technical foul. |
| 17.5.2 |
Reset |
| |
Resets are charged per team not per player and are also charged per game not per match. |
| 17.6 |
Reset |
| |
If the defender intentionally jars the table, this will not be considered a reset, and jarring will be called immediately. |
| 17.7 |
Reset |
| |
A reset call made while the ball is on the five-man rod will reset the amount of times the ball has struck the wall as well as the time limit. |
