Rule
Rule regulations norming the course of a sport competition or game (game rules) and the social behaviour of the athlete during the competition, as well as definition of the sanctions applied in case of a violation of these regulations (rule violation). The rules of the different sport disciplines are written down and binding. Referees or judges supervise the compliance with the rules in a competition. These rules are constitutive for a sport discipline, their content relates to elements of the sport such as facilities and equipment (e.G. Construction, measurement, and form of sport and play equipment), people (e.G. Number of players, mode of substituting players), space (e.G. Measurements of the playing field, function of various zones within the playing field), time (e.G. Playing time, overtime, time-outs, minimum and maximum duration of an exercise or game), and actions that can be related - again - to equipment (e.G. Possibilities for touching the ball in soccer and handball), people (behaviour towards other participants in the competition, e.G. Play without physical contact, possibilities for defending against the opponent), space (possibility of certain actions in certain zones of the playing field), time (action possibilities within certain time periods during the game, e.G. The three-second rule in basketball), and the motor sequence itself (e.G. Travelling rule in basketball and handball). The constitutive rules can be changed in order to meet new conditions (e.G. Improvements in sport equipment construction). The definition and change of rules can only be undertaken by national and international federations of the sport disciplines. In addition to these rules constituting a sport discipline, strategic rules exist as well, they also relate to equipment, people, space, time, and actions, but their violation does not lead to the consequence of sanctions. Strategic rules are not normed in an official set of rules, rather, they relate to what would be sensible to do or to avoid under consideration of the constitutive rules and the idea or goal of a sport discipline (e.G. All tactical measures). Therefore, strategic rules enhance all sport and play creativity. (H.Haag & g.Haag, dictionary, 2003, 419p)
