What are the changes in the figure four rule? Is it just around the head in a pinning combination? or is it all figure four situations?

1st lets go over last years rules and the areas one can put on a figure 4.

Figure 4 around the head from neutral is a TV and delayed as long as the one scoring can not be injured.
Figure 4 around the body is an illegal move and stopped immediately
Figure 4 around both legs is a an illegal move and stopped immediately.
So that only left figure 4 around the head in an offensive position. That this is year is illegal, so yes figure 4 is either illegal or a technical violation in all areas with this upcoming year.

So if you have a high turk ride, with a figure four that is still OK? McCauley used this ride often and generally got back points out of it.

I assume you mean figure four of the the one leg that is being used in the turk, something you see quite often in college?

That would be okay, although very painful and could lead to potentially dangerous...

Need to correct the figure four on the head from neutral is no longer a Technical violation but rather an illegal hold and will be stopped immediately. Prior to this year it was a TV and we let the TD continue. No longer are we allowed to let it continue as it is illegal to figure 4 the head in all situations.
