In the majority of cases for set play the Referee will be in a position to
monitor the square and make the decision on a square ball.
In open play, the position, movement & team work of the umpires is vital
to be able to correctly monitor the small rectangle and make judgement
on square ball. The umpire closest to the play should get into a position to
judge the shot which may creep in under the crossbar, as well as judging
the small rectangle. The second umpire should be back in position behind
the goal so that they can judge both posts from behind.
