Destroying the Pack

A:

The rules establish a direction of game play and the basic idea that both teams work together to establish pack speed. If the pack is moving clockwise, a team that slows or stops should not be penalized if the pack is subsequently destroyed as long as it is not sudden, as it is an example of normal game play. If a team destroys the pack by skating away from the pack counter-clockwise, this change is sudden and should be penalized.

If the pack is stopped and one team begins to slowly skate away in the counter-clockwise direction, no penalty for pack destruction should be given because this is normal game play. But if the team suddenly sprints forward, it should be penalized if it results in a pack destruction.
