THE PASSING GAME Rule 7
{"Image DocumentName": "THE PASSING GAME Rule 7", "Image ImageDescription": "DEFINITION: A pass is a deliberate act, a pass is the result of throwing the ball. The ball leaves the passers hand and travels in flight. Once the ball is thrown, its status remains a pass until it is caught or incomplete. 1) Catching a pass means gaining possession of the live ball in flight and first returning to the ground inbounds. 2) Catching the ball is always preceded by touching; if touching the ball causes the ball to become dead, securing possession of it is meaningless. 3) Intercepting a pass is catching an opponent\u2019s pass. 4) An airborne player who obtains possession of the ball in the air must maintain possession when he contacts the ground. In other words, the ground can cause an incompletion. 5) On a simultaneous catch the offensive team retains possession. 6) On scrimmage downs, the neutral zone may be expanded following the snap up to two yards behind the defensive line of scrimmage to allow normal line play. THE NEUTRAL ZONE DOES NOT EXPAND INTO THE END ZONE.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
