Replying To brianb:  "Yes - limiting it after a single handpass could restrict a scoring possibility where it opens up with a second pass; but whatever number you decide to count to would potentially do that.

I'd assume that the FRC looked at the handpass and decided it was another symptom of the problem rather than the problem."
Referees have to watch out for consecutive hops. If referees were on board with limiting to 2 consecutive hand passes, is that workable? If a players solos, it could reset the sequence because of the foot action.
I hand pass to you and you hand pass to me, all good. I cannot hand pass again without at least a solo.

Certainly both suggestions could work - I guess my main point is to keep technical infringements simple and clearly defined.

The handpass limit was trialed a few years back and certainly once we start counting them up it it becomes difficult to track with everything else going on in a game - again maybe it was this feedback that stopped the FRC from looking at it again?
