Answer» (i) A long corner is awarded if the foul is committed by a player of the attacking team. (ii) Raised ball is a ball which bounces into the circle as a result of a lofted stroke. (iii) Astro turf is an artificial surface made up of synthetic fibre. The synthetic fibre used gives the surface an appearance of the natural grass. This type of surface has a base of water. This makes the surface equivalent to the natural hockey field. The water level increases the low side resistance (LSR) and shock absorbance of the surface. This makes the surface excellent and safe for the players. This surface also remains soft as compared to the natural field. (iv) If a hockey match is tied after the end of regulation time then an extra time of two 7.5 minute periods is played. During this period, the team which scores the first goal is declared winner. It means 'the game ends as soon as one team scores'. |
