Question 111

Side A's Red ball is offside after Side B has lawfully run the hoop in order with their Blue ball. Side B's Black ball is also offside. Side A plays Red ball immediately, trusting Side B has not noticed that it is offside. Red ball runs the hoop in order and Side A claims the hoop point. Side B then protests that the Red ball was offside, which Side A accepts but believes that the opportunity to direct the offside ball has passed. You are called on as a referee to identify what should happen.

Answer

As the Red ball has been played there is no entitlement for Side B to direct it to a Penalty Area. However Side A also cannot give an Offside Direction for the Black Ball.	The stroke with the Red ball is Annulled and Black is to be played next. Although they have had a stroke Annulled, Side A can give an Offside direction to the Black ball.	Side A has played Red ball when not entitled, so their stroke is Annulled and they are given the opportunity to play Red again.
Side B is given the option to give an Offside Direction for Red.
