Inbounding - Incorrect (not entering at inbounding point)

KEY points: Black beater was supposed to inbound from the closest spot to the boundary line (e.g. perpendicular) from where the out of bounds bludger was retrieved. AR can help by pointing out where that point is but this is certainly not an excuse for ignorance of the rule by black beater. BTH to black beater, bludger turnover to white beater.

Quidditch Canada fall 2018 - summer 2020 (via USQ Rulebook 12; QC-specific amendments in ** **)
7.5.4. Inbounding procedure
A. The inbounding player takes possession of the out of bounds ball and moves to the inbounding point.
i. The inbounding point for the quaffle is the approximate location where the
quaffle crossed the boundary line.
ii. The inbounding point for a bludger is approximately at the closest point on
the boundary line to the inbounding beater when they take possession of the
out of bounds bludger.
iii. The inbounding player is immune from being knocked out by live bludgers
while out of bounds to inbound a ball.
B. If play was stopped, the head referee shall restart play.
C. An official shall count down 5 seconds. **For a bludger, the nearest assistant referee shall count down 5 seconds, if necessary, at their discretion.**
D. The inbounding player must inbound the ball by either carrying the ball back inbounds or throwing the ball inbounds before the official starts saying “zero.”
**i. If play was stopped, the quaffle may only be inbounded by a pass to an
eligible teammate.
a. receiver’s eligibility is determined at the time of the pass.**
ii. If the ball is thrown, it is considered inbounds once it completely crosses the
sideline
or endline.
iii. If the ball is carried inbounds, it is considered inbounds once the player re-
establishes themselves inbounds.
iv. No player on the opposing team may physically prevent the inbounding
player from fully re-entering the pitch at the inbounding point.
E. The inbounding player may only move in a primarily
perpendicular direction to the boundary line.
i. This does not prevent a player from stepping into their throw.
F. A bludger inbounded by a throw is dead.
G. A quaffle inbounded by a throw is unscorable (See: 5.6.3. Unscorable quaffle).
H. If there is an inbounding procedure violation, the player receiving the resulting turnover does not need to inbound the ball.

player from re-entering the pitch
