      Notes for the Guidance of Referees

      Index to Laws of the Game

      LAW 1.—Plan of the Field:

      The field of play should not exceed 110 yards in length nor 75 yards in breadth, and should be as near those dimensions as practicable. The maximum extent of the dead ball line is 25 yards.

      It is recommended that the posts and flags marking the centre and 25 yards lines should be kept well back from the touch lines.

      The touch lines and goal lines should be cut out of the turf, or otherwise well defined.

      On each goal line and equidistant from the touch lines shall be two upright posts, called goal posts, exceeding 11 feet in height and placed 18 feet 6 inches apart, and joined by a cross-bar 10 feet from the ground.

      PART I.—DEFINITIONS, AND GLOSSARY OF TERMS

      LAW 2.—The following terms have the meaning assigned to them, that is to say:—

      Beyond or Behind or In Front of any position indicated implies with both feet except when unsuited to the context.

      Dead means that the ball is for the time being out of play, an event that occurs when the Referee’s whistle is blown, or when a try has been scored, or after an unsuccessful attempt to convert a try.

      Fair-catch.—A fair catch is obtained when a player catches the ball direct from a kick, knock-on, or throw forward by one of the opposing team if at the same time the catcher makes a mark on the ground with his heel and exclaims Mark.

       A fair-catch can be made in a player’s own in-goal.

      Field of Play.—The field-of-play is the space as shown on the plan, bounded by, but not including, the Goal Lines and Touch Lines.

      Goal.—A goal is obtained by kicking the ball over the opponents’ cross-bar from the field-of-play, by any place kick or drop kick except a kick-off or drop-out, without touching the ground or any player of either team. A goal is scored if the ball has crossed the bar,
