Rules of biathlon and hockey with a ball. Description of sports games.

Any sport has its own clear rules, fornon-observance of which follows punishment in the form of fines. Exactly the same as the rules, the penalties in each sport are different. And all because the sport includes a variety of games and activities. But in this article I will tell the readers about the rules of biathlon and hockey with the ball.

Biathlon is considered a spectacular sightwinter sports. It includes such components of the competition as shooting and running on skis. It can also be noted that today it is the most popular sport not only in Russia, but also abroad. Perhaps that's why many readers are interested in biathlon rules, which will be discussed later.

Biathlon Rules.

For movement in this sport it is forbiddenUse any other means than ski poles and skis themselves. Although there are no specific requirements when choosing them. The main thing is that the skis correspond to the anthropometry of the athlete (ki). This means that they must match the growth of the runner or a maximum of four centimeters less. But the maximum length of skis in this case is not limited. Usually biathlonists use racing light skis five centimeters wide and weighing two hundred and fifty grams.

At the competition the biathlete (ka) runs awaydistance of 7.5 - 20 kilometers, making stops only for shooting at targets at the shooting range. The shooting range is the same for all participants and is 50 meters. To knock out 5 targets the athlete is given exactly 5 rounds. But on the relay each participant is added three additional rounds.

Biathlon rules do not do without fines,which are used on the shooting range. For each miss in the individual race, the athlete is added a penalty minute, and for all other disciplines, the penalty circle is 150 meters.

Another interesting and no less popular sport is the hockey which is a bit more versatile. Well, you know, it's practically football, and even on ice. Each side plays 11 players.

Rules of hockey with a ball.

As a kind of sport, hockey with the ball appeared in the homelandfootball, Great Britain. Perhaps, that is why in 1891 the very first published set of rules was under the serious influence of football. By the way, it's worth noting that hockey with the puck appeared after, in view of what inherited a lot similar to it.

According to the rules, the field for hockey with a ball is similar tothe size of a football, although it is flooded with ice. It is also known that the hockey with the ball has its own rigid system of penalties. Here everything is not so simple as a sports biathlon, here the player has to be removed from the field, and not for 1-2 minutes.

If the player has violated any rule, the refereeshows him this or that card, the color of which corresponds to the time off for the outside of the field. The white card keeps the player out of the field for 5 minutes, and the blue card - 10.

In spite of the fact that eleven of the best players selected by the coach come to the field of the game, they can be replaced many times and at any time.

In recent amendments to the rules, 2 amendments were introduced, one of which is the impossibility to take a time-out during the game. The other is the impossibility to replace the player (s) with a corner kick.

Hockey with the rules is very similar to football,for example, even by halves during the game. There is also one half forty-five minutes, and when extra time is needed, two half-time is added to fifteen minutes. But while the players are playing the game already as in hockey with a puck. And this means - up to the first goal. The penalty system for angular, free and free punches is the same. Exactly the same as the ban on the use of hands for all field players, the "offside" position and the ban on the use of hands in the game for the goalkeeper (outside the penalty area).
