In other words, this Sunday, for the league semi-finals to go to a free-taking competition, the matches would have to be level after 100 minutes of hurling.
Whoever still has the energy to lift a hurl can take part in the free-taking competition.
Below is the GAA's outlining of the new concept.
- - Each team will nominate 5 free takers for the competition and indicate to the referee in which order (1 to 5) the free takers will take the frees
- - The 5 players above must be chosen from players who have participated in the game, either in normal time or in one of the periods of Extra Time.
- - Players who receive a red card in Hurling or Football, and players who receive a black card in Football, in normal time or any of the four periods of Extra Time are not permitted to participate in the free-taking competition.
- - The Referee will toss a coin for choice of ends in the presence of the Team Captains. The Captain who wins the toss will choose which end the free taking competition should be played into and will have the option of his team going 1st or 2nd.
- - The Referee will ensure two goal umpires are in place at the end in which the competition is being played into.
- - Frees will be taken by each of the five players from a position of their choosing on the 65 (Hurling) or 45 (Football) metre line. Frees in football may be taken from the hands or off the ground.
- - In Hurling, frees shall be taken in accordance with the provisions of T.O 2016 Cuid II – Rules of Set Play Riail 2.5 (a) and (b) and Rules of Foul Play 4.24, 4.25 and 4.27. Breaches of these provisions will render frees null and void and they cannot be retaken.
- - In football, frees shall be taken in accordance with the provisions of T.O 2016 Cuid II Rules of Set Play - Rule 2.5 and Rules of Foul Play 4.23, 4.24 and 4.26. Breaches of these provisions will render frees null and void and they cannot be retaken.
