Not any more its not: 'push back' is now the term I think.

Canoe polo was "Charge!" I think.....

[Plotloss]

Yep bully off no more in an attempt to save knees and jaws...

As I'm an umpire in my spare time, I can confirm the official term used by the ECB is 'play commences'. Doesn't help when you want to say it in the phrase 'are we on time or have we missed the play commences?'

Tiddywinks: Flick Off
Ice Hockey: Puck off
Poker: Luck Off
