The idea of yes it is a foul but it should not be called seems nonsensical. I personally think there are too many laws myself.

It’s not really any different to holding or PI though. A time limit is gonna be unenforceable unless you have one ref for each duel, which isn’t gonna happen.

Changing the wording to significant contact as suggested above would be a move in the right direction, but TBH is the opposite direction to where the game is going
