Rules questions from last nights pickup:

1) Moving a dropped mallet:

§5.5.2 – Knocking or relocating an opponent’s dropped mallet in order to make it more difficult for them to recover it.

Doesn't really help answer the scenario, as it implies intention from the player to move it further on purpose, not just to get it out of his way.

2) Off the ball checking

There is no rule against it.
