The current rules define the crown of the helmet as follows:
ARTICLE 3. No player shall target and make forcible contact against an
opponent with the crown of their helmet. The crown of the helmet is the top
segment of the helmet; namely, the circular area defined by a 6-inch radius
from the apex (top) of the helmet.
