Disagree - an unintentional carry should not be a fault. It’s like an unintentional double hit, which should also not be faulted. A player who in good faith attempts a proper shot should not be penalized. In my opinion an intentional carry is pretty easy to spot. Either way it should be a referee judgement call.

Here, the basis of the argument to remove “deliberately” from Rule 7.L. is that referees are not well-positioned to judge or determine player intent in general. Currently, referees are required and trusted to discern whether a player acts deliberately in a handful of other comparable situations covered by the Rulebook and Officiating Handbook. Some examples include:

Rule 11.A.
Rule 13.G.2.g.
Rule 13.I.3.a.
Section 7.C.1.b.4. of the Officiating Handbook.

While justifiable grounds for removal of “deliberately” from Rule 7.L. may exist, the suggested change should not be made on the basis stated in submission no. 886 due to a lack of consistency with officiating principles reasonably inferable from the current Rulebook and Officiating Handbook.

This rule should stand as is. Unintentional carries are a natural part of the game. In the vast majority of cases, it is not difficult to determine if it was intentional or not.
