1. An attacking figure is only in an offside position when ...
It is closer to the goal line than the ball
It is fully inside the shooting zone, and a defending figure is either touching the shooting zone line or inside it
There are NOT two defending figures ( or one defending figure and a goalkeeper ) closer to the goal line
2. For every turn in possession, an attacking player is permitted a maximum of 2 'onside flicks'
The defender is allowed to counter with a defensive blocking flick for each onside flick
If an attacker has used both 'onside flicks' he can attempt to retain possession without being caught offside by using the figure in an offside position to play the ball
3. A figure flicked into an onside position is not allowed to play the ball until it has been played by another figure
4. Onside flicks cannot be played over the half way line, and should be played parallel to the sideline, or as close to parallel as possible
5. A defending player cannot play an attacking figure into an offside position with a defensive blocking flick following an 'onside flick'
6. If after positional flicks prior to a free kick, an attacker has a figure in an offside position, the 'onside flick' must wait until the the free kick has been taken
7. A figure called offside as soon as any part of the ball has past the last defending figure
If the ball touches a defending figure en route and then goes on to touch the attacking figure in an offside position, it is not penalised for being offside
