UK Championships - Call for Refs

If ball is cupped up to goals" was the wording, so if a player takes possession of a ball in their own half heads towards the opponents goal and uses a ball joint to get past an opponent or control the ball then continues to dribble the ball and shoots for goal has he "cupped the ball up to the goals?" if not where is the break off point? can he cup up to the D/the halfway line...? I'd rather lose the ambiguity...

As [URL="

"]I said above[/URL], as worded:

[QUOTE]Ball Joint and Lobs:It is legal to lob the ball (’throw’ the ball with the mallet) and/or to travel with the ball using the ‘ball joint’ cupping style of carrying the ball but you cannot score with either method. 


implies that a player can simply release the ball, and then shoot.
