67 - ILLEGAL JOSTLE

Signals 10 and 15 apply. Illegal Tackle & Free Shot. A jostle is a player manoeuvring their kayak against an opponent’s kayak between the six (6)-metre lines and the goal line, to gain a position
where neither player is attempting for the ball. The following jostling is illegal.

67.1. When a player is stationary or attempting to maintain a position and their body is moved by more than half a metre by sustained contact from an opponent’s kayak.
(This rule only applies to stationary players or those attempting to maintain a stationary position. In particular- defending players who are in motion and actively paddling are considered to be jostling- therefore have no protection under rule 67.1)

67.2. When the contact to the opponent’s kayak would be defined as a kayak-tackle an illegal kayak tackle under any section of rule 66.

67.3. A player with the whole kayak behind the goal line may not be jostled, as they are not in the six (6)-metre area.
