Goal Keeper Punts must not travel “airborne” past center field.
Penalty – Indirect Free Kick awarded to the opposing team, at Center Line,
               closest to the landing point, in bounds, of the Punt.
               Should the ball go “Directly” Out of Bounds, before entering the
               Field of Play, play shall be restarted, without Penalty, as appropriate,
               i.e.; Throw-In, Corner, or Goal Kick.

Reason for the Amendment:
With the elimination of the Offsides Rule, combined with the shorter field, the ability for the average
GoalKeeper to Punt the ball within easy scoring range presents undesirable issues;
While the ability to place the ball into this unfair Offensive position is equally available to both GoalKeepers,
it conflicts with the spirit of the game, game flow, and poses an unacceptable safety risk to GoalKeepers.

It causes Players to set up to receive the anticipated punt, crowding the prime scoring areas, putting the
Defenders at an unfair disadvantage. It takes away from the inherent play action, and skills necessary to
move the ball into scoring position, diminishing the action and spirit of the game. 

The fact that the GoalKeeper, and “Cherry Picking” Offensive Attackers have the right to vie for the ball,
puts the GoalKeeper in an unsafe situation, as excessive, potentially dangerous contact is imminent. 
This effectively removes the GoaKeepers protection from Contact Charges.

This Amendment is deemed necessary, as a result of the removal of the Offsides Rule,
as the Offsides Rule would, by nature, prevent the these undesired issues.
