A loss rule triggered when only part of a locked piece remains above the boundary. Not every game uses it; compare ordinary lock out and block out before assuming touching the top always ends a run.

LOCKED ACROSS THE CEILING

Only part of this locked T is above the dashed boundary. Partial lock out and full lock out are different rules.
