Is it a foul if you win the ball first?

Nowhere does it state that a foul is based on whether you get the ball first or not. It depends on whether the challenge is reckless, use of excessive force or careless.

A foul is an unfair act by a player, deemed by the referee to contravene the game's laws, that interferes with the active play of the game. Fouls are punished by the award of a free kick (possibly a penalty kick) to the opposing team.

Accidentally kicking an opponent while tackling the ball is not a foul unless it was careless, reckless, or there was excessive force.

The rule states that the position of the player is irrelevant; it is the position of the ball that is of consequence. If a player touches a ball in foul territory, it's a foul ball.

No. A foul is specifically an action by a player against an opposing team. So strictly speaking, a referee isn't even eligible for a foul. (In fact, if a player punches a referee, that itself is no STRICTLY a foul, but instead “misconduct”).

The new penalty for a take foul is 1 free throw, which may be attempted by any player on the offended team in the game at the time the foul was committed. With training camp around the corner, NBA officials gathered for their preseason meetings to discuss points of education for 2022-23.

Batted balls that first contact the field between home plate and first or third base are considered foul if they don't subsequently bounce over or directly contact either base, otherwise pass either base while in fair territory, or ultimately settle at some point in fair territory between home plate and either base.

If the thrower fails to deliver the ball per the required procedure, or delivers it from a point other than where the ball left the field of play, the throw-in is awarded to the opposing team. This is commonly known as a "foul throw".

Fouls and violations are the 2 types of basketball rules infractions. A foul is either personal or technical. A personal foul is committed by a player. All personal fouls involve contact and all personal fouls occur when the ball is live except for a foul on or by an airborne shooter.

A player who comes to a stop on step one when both feet are on the floor or touch the floor simultaneously may pivot using either foot as his pivot. If he jumps with both feet he must release the ball before either foot touches the floor. A player who lands with one foot first may only pivot using that foot.

​If the ball hits the ceiling on your side and then goes over the net, the ball is dead and will result in a side out or point. However, if a ball hits the ceiling on your side and returns down on your side, you may play the ball.

If the shirt grabbing is defined as holding, then it's a foul. If a player grabs a shirt to hold the player, but the player manages to pulls away, this is not a foul. . . "attempting" to hold is not a foul. Most of the time, this is what happens if the referee is patient.

A goalkeeper has three (3) steps to put it back the ball in play, once they have picked up the ball. A keeper cannot bounce the ball or put it down and pick it up again - resulting in an indirect free kick. Goalies can take 3 steps with the ball and must release it within six (6) seconds.

The back-pass rule states that a goalkeeper is forbidden to handle the ball when passed to them by a team-mate, according to Law 12, Section 2 of the Laws of the Game.

Goalkeepers are allowed to pick up balls in their penalty area, but they are not allowed to do so when the ball has been purposely kicked to them by a team-mate. Instead, goalkeepers are to play the balls with their feet.

The take foul rule will take effect when the defender does not make a play on the ball and stops a transition opportunity. In the event of a take foul, the team on offense will get one free throw, shot by one of their five players on the court of their choice, and also retain possession.

In 1986 the World Congress decided that each intentional or disqualifying foul committed by a player – above the two or three free throws – was additionally penalised by awarding possession of the ball to the other team.

Fouling out. A player who commits five personal fouls over the course of a 40-minute game, or six in a 48-minute game, fouls out and is disqualified for the remainder of the game.

Even if the ball goes back and forth between being fair and foul, it will not be ruled as fair and foul until it stops or a player touches it. In the outfield a ball is determined to be foul by its relationship to the line when it first touches the ground or is touched by a player.

A foul tip is considered equivalent to a ball in which the batter swings and misses, in that the baserunners are able to advance at their own risk (without needing to tag up). Should the batter produce a foul tip after previously accruing two strikes, the foul tip is considered strike three and the batter is out.

If it drops to the ground, it is simply a foul ball, and runners cannot advance. A ground ball hit in foul territory is simply a foul ball, and cannot be played.

In basketball, a flagrant foul is a personal foul that involves excessive or violent contact that could injure the fouled player. A flagrant foul may be unintentional or purposeful; the latter type is also called an "intentional foul" in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

In many ways officiating is still ruled by the traditions of the past, at least at the higher levels. Take Minor League Baseball for instance where the rulebook for umpires clearly states, “Umpires should be clean shaven; mustaches, goatees and other facial hair are not permitted.”

“Because officials are under a microscope from the time they step onto the court until the final buzzer, it is best if they refrain from touching fellow officials, players, coaches and those working around the game due to the sensitivity many have toward touching,” says Debbie Williamson, NCAA women's basketball ...

Any tactic using the hands, arms or body that allows a player on offense or defense to control, hold, impede, push, divert, slow or prevent the movement of an opposing player is a foul.

All NCAA/NIRSA basketball rules apply except for the following: General Rules • Unsportsmanlike behavior, toward an opponent or official will not be tolerated and can result in a technical foul. This includes trash talking, spitting, etc.

The most common penalty in football, statistically, is offensive holding. Offensive holding is a penalty that occurs when an offensive lineman grabs onto a defensive player, impeding him from moving freely. Offensive holding typically results in a 10-yard penalty, but does not result in a loss of down.

If the pivot foot moves or drags, a player will receive a traveling call—in other words, a penalty.

Lifting the pivot foot alone does not constitute a travel; a player may pass, shoot, or request a timeout in that position. It is a travel once the foot is returned to the floor, or if a dribble is started.

In basketball, a pump fake, or shot fake, is a fake shot attempt. It is a move used by an offensive player with the ball to get his/her defender off balance, off the ground, or generally out of the way. If a pump fake works, then the offensive player will have an open window to shoot, dribble, or pass the ball.

Unless provided otherwise by a local ground rule, a fair fly ball striking the top of the outfield wall and bounding over is a home run.

Can you bounce a ball off the floor into the basket?

A bounced ball can be counted

Hair pulling is rare, and isn't specifically covered within the Laws of the Game so comes under either violent conduct or unsporting behaviour, depending on the specifics, though the mere act isn't an automatic dismissal. But when off the ball and with force it would be considered by most referees to be a red card.

Football's laws dictate that players are not allowed to shout anything that “verbally distracts an opponent during play or at a restart” and leads to an advantage being gained. Shouting “Mine!” or “Leave it!” isn't explicitly against the rules, but it is all down to the context.

Rules for Goalies:

They can kick or throw the ball to a teammate. Goalies can not use their hands if the ball is kicked back to them from a teammate. This also applies on a throw-in, but is much less common. Goalies must wear unique clothing different from the jerseys worn by the other players.

The goalkeeper cannot be changed during the competition unless he becomes injured during the shootout. If a goalkeeper is sent off during the shootout, another player who finished the game must act as goalkeeper.

The ball is in play once it is kicked and moves, and at that time other players may enter the penalty area and penalty arc. The kicker may not touch the ball a second time until it has been touched by another player of either team or goes out of play (including into the goal).

5 second rule

On an inbound pass, a player may only hold on the ball for a maximum of 5 seconds. In the game, if a player is closely guarded, they must start dribbling, passing the ball or attempting a shot within five seconds.

The key thing to remember in granting a time-out is that PLAYER CONTROL must be established. For example, an official should not grant a time-out if the ball is being passed between teammates OR if there is a loose ball on the ground and no player clearly has established possession/control.

Teams pull their goalie during a delayed penalty often. Since the delayed penalty means that the play is over once the opposing team regains possession of the puck, coaches swap out their goalie for a hockey player on the ice to try and score.

It is also common to say the score in the order that matches the order you said the teams.

This just makes it a little more clear.

The foul strike rule was first adopted by the National League in 1901 as a response to some players (most notoriously Roy Thomas) developing the ability to foul off pitch after pitch to force a walk.

What happens if a player shoots the ball before the buzzer?

In basketball and other such timed sports, a buzzer beater is a shot that is taken before the game clock of a quarter, a half (if the half is the second one, then, a game), or an overtime period expires but does not go in the basket until after the clock expires and the buzzer sounds hence the name "buzzer beater".

A legal jump shot must be executed by stroking down through the cue ball (no scooping or miscues). Shooting while any ball is moving is a ball in hand foul. If the cue tip strikes the cue ball twice on the same stroke, it is a ball in hand foul.

Jump shots aren't illegal in American pool, but to be legal, you need to approach the shot from a high angle and hit the ball down into the felt causing it to pop back up and over the ball you're trying to jump. Many players employ a jump cue like the Cynergy Propel Jump Cue to make this easier.

The North American and Japanese practice of listing the home team second likely derives from baseball, in which the home team bats after the visiting team in each inning.

Points, games, sets and matches

Tennis is played in points: Four points win a game, six games win a set, and two or three sets win a match. You can decide how long you want your game to be but most matches are played as best-of-three or five set contests.

A score line or channel line creates two distinct sides of a card. One side has a recess or indentation, the other side has a bump or raise. The proper way is to fold into the raised side. When properly folded cards will have a cleaner, more even fold with less chance of cracking.

The batter is also given a strike when they hit a foul ball and they have less than two strikes. You can't get a third strike when hitting foul ball. A foul ball that is hit with two strikes doesn't count as a strike or a ball. Any pitch that is outside the strike zone and the hitter doesn't swing is called a ball.

A batter who hits a foul tip with two strikes on the count is out. In kickball, foul ball does not make a strike, but four foul balls make an out.

The rules treat a foul tip as equivalent in every respect to a pitch at which the batter swings and misses. A foul tip is always a strike, regardless of the existing ball-and-strike count. A player with two strikes against him is automatically struck out. A player with fewer than two strikes against him is not out.
