The 1-meter side strips (Lobbies) are OUT of bounds before touch, but open into legal court once contact occurs.
Don't step into the side orange strips (lobbies) UNTIL you touch a defender! Stepping in early makes you OUT, but stepping in after a touch is legal.
Pre-touch lobby entry is an immediate self-out. Post-touch, both raider and defenders involved in the struggle can legally use the lobby space to maneuver or escape.
Raider gets cornered, touches right cover defender, then runs through the right lobby strip back to midline. Legitimate score.
Line umpire signals OUT if player enters lobby prior to touch.
Use lobby width for turning maneuvers after touching defender.
