Re: Hog Line

The Canadian rule has been changed this year to bring it into alignment with the rest of the world.

 

From the CCA website:

 

Hogline Rule 
The CCA has also agreed to revert back to the previous hogline rule which states: "in the delivery of a stone, the stone shall be released before the stone has reached the nearer hogline." 
 
This change to the hogline rule will ultimately result in players having to release the stone approximately 14 inches sooner than the past three years

 

The interpretation is that the player must completely and clearly release the rock prior to the rock's leading edge crossing the plane of the first edge of the hog line, and no part any player's body or equipment may come in contact with the stone after that point.

There seems to be some debate as to releasing at or near the hog line.  Is there a difference in the rulings (CCA,WCF,USCA etc)?
