Why people argue about this
People often think that just using sand as a weapon in an eye-poke is okay if it's unintentional, but they're actually misunderstanding that even intentional use of sand for such an attack results in disqualification under this rule. The confusion arises because beach sambo rules are quite specific about the nature and intent behind fouls like this one.
Send this to your friend — argument over.
Article 27 lists the prohibited actions. Each is penalised by immediate disqualification — there is no graduated warning scale:
If both contestants are eliminated (disqualified), they are given a result of 0:0 and neither receives any individual or team place, or medals (Art. 26).
Think this rule could be improved?
