Well, doesn't that say it clearly? If you ask someone to move you are not allowed to ask them to move back. Do you agree or disagree with that?Thom wrote: ↑11:59 PM - 1 day agoIt was 14-2/2.5 and is current now asMr. Bean wrote: ↑9:49 PM - 1 day agoI remember having read a decision where the shadow of a spectator standing still was either a benefit or a disturbance for a player. That dec said that it was allowed for the player to ask the spectator to move away but it was not allowed to move the spectator to a certain position to aid the player.
In my mind this is the same. You may ask a person to step away but you may not ask him to step back to assist you. IMO very clear and straightforward.
10.2b(5)/1 – Player May Ask Another Person Who Was Not Deliberately Positioned to Move or Remain in Place
Although a player may not place an object or position a person for the purpose of blocking the sunlight from the ball, the player may ask a person (such as a spectator) not to move when that spectator is already in position, so that a shadow remains over the ball, or may ask that spectator to move, so that his or her shadow is no longer over the ball.
