What do you mean by that lets just say i was about to shoot my snake and i messed it up and it rolled forward and went to a stop and the ball went dead who gets to serve and if it counts on every rod?
Who served the ball on that point? (if it's the first ball of the match it was determined by the coin flip, otherwise it's whoever got scored on last).
They serve the ball on their 5-rod unless:
1. The ref rules that the ball was made intentionally dead (e.g. to reset the time limits)
2. The ball was almost out of reach and it was pushed out of reach from the bottom (rather than the top).
If either of those is true, the other team (not the one who pushed the ball out of reach) gets the serve.
The above only applies to balls which are between the rods of 2 different teams. If the ball boes dead between the goalie and 2-rod (or out of reach behind the goalie, hanging on the edge of the goal), you put it into play from that goalie area.
