G12. SIGNIFICANT OR DELIBERATE PHYSICAL CONTACT

Significant or deliberate physical contact is both detrimental to the game and potentially dangerous. In blatant cases the Referee should stop the rally and award the appropriate penalty accordingly. In cases in which the player "pushes off" the opponent and this has no significant effect on the opponent, the Referee shall allow the rally to continue and give a Conduct warning to that player at the end of the rally. In cases in which this has a significant effect, the Referee shall stop play and apply Rule 17.
