weegegirl 2 #4 December 15, 2003 Ha ha ha.... No worries, WrongWay... we can teach you how to play: Starting Each quarter is started with the teams lined up on opposite goal lines. On a signal (whistle) from the referee, the teams sprint toward center pool for the ball. The ball is placed in a “pull start”, a ring that holds the ball. The pull start is lowered once the sprinters approach. The team gaining possession of the ball advances it toward its offensive end of the pool by swimming, dribbling or passing the ball. Fouls There are two types of fouls in water polo. Ordinary fouls account for approximately 80% of the whistles during the game and personal faults (or major fouls). Major fouls include exclusion and penalty fouls. Ordinary fouls include: Touching the ball with two hands Taking the ball under water when tackled Impeding an opponent who is not holding the ball Pushing off of an opponent; and, stalling (failing to shoot or advance the ball within 35 seconds). When the referee calls an ordinary foul, the offended team is awarded a free throw at the point of the foul. The offended team must put the ball in play without delay by releasing, swimming or passing the ball. Exclusion fouls include: kicking or striking deliberate splashing in the face an ordinary foul committed by the defense during dead time interfering with a free throw misconduct or disrespect to the referee holding, sinking or pullin back an opponent not holding the ball. Exclusion fouls may result in a player being excluded for 20 seconds. The excluded player (or his substitute) may not return until the 20 second exclusion time expires, a goal is scored or a change of possession takes place, which ever period is shortest. A player receiving three major fouls is removed from the game with substitution. Deliberate kicking or striking with intent to harm an opponent (brutality) results in ejection of the offending player for the remainder of the game, without substitution. Time Clocks As in basketball, two clocks are used to time a water polo game. One indicates the time remaining in the quarter, and the other, called the shot clock or thirty-five second clock, indicates how much time remains for the offensive team to shoot the ball (the team is allowed 35).

WrongWay 0 #7 December 15, 2003 QuoteHow did you make the age requirements? Huh, that's a good point. They never mentioned that to me. See, I called and they told me specifically that the only requirement I didn't meet was that I didn't play water polo, then the lady gave me this link. Maybe the age was just a guideline and not a rule? Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

Kennedy 0 #17 December 16, 2003 I must say I was pleasantly suprised by King of the Jungle. A reality show for a reality show. It was entertaining, didn't have any of those stupid three minute pauses, and the people were intelligent. (disclaimer, I found it by accident on APL, I don't do reality tv) OTOH, oxymoron: yes bunch of morons: yes waste of brainpower: reason I don' do reality tv witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
