Question:
What is the penalty, if there is one, for incidental contact between illegal contact zones and illegal target zones? For Example: incidental or temporary contact between one skater’s hand and an opposing skater’s back that does not force the opponent to adjust her skating stance or position in any way.
Answer:
If there is no impact, there is no penalty, even if the contact occurs using illegal blocking zones and/or landing on illegal target zones.
