Defended only. A defended Penalty 3 is only used if the Host Tournament Committee elects it in advance, in events with an upper handicap limit of 8 goals and above, with two certified professional Umpires. The fouled team may not play the ball again until a defender, a goal post, an opposing player or mount has touched it.
