Solution
When the ball is played over the backline unintentionally by a defender in field hockey, the procedure to resume the game is as follows:
- A bully is taken close to the location of the ball when play was stopped but not within 15 metres of the back-line and not within 5 metres of the circle.
- The ball is placed between one player from each team who face each other with the goal they are defending their right.
- The two players start with their sticks on the ground to the right of the ball and then tap the flat faces of their sticks together once just over the ball after which either player is permitted to play the ball.
- All other players must be at least 5 meters from the ball.
