Is on the line in football out?
Yes if a player steps on the out-of-bounds line than the player is out-of-bounds.
What is the reason for hash marks?
In football, the ball is placed on the field after a play where the players movement has stopped. Although, if the player steps out of bounds, the ball is placed towards the center of the field to the nearest hash mark. If not, the ball would be placed at the sidelines.
If a football player falls BACKWARD out of bounds does the clock stop?
Only if he has the ball.AnswerYes. The clock always stops when the ball goes out of bounds. It doesn't matter how it got there. Wrong - Although I don't feel it is a good rule, in college football if a player steps out of bounds going backwards and does not display a foward advance while carrying the ball the clock keeps running.
When a player steps on the out of bounds line and is then bumped out by a defender what is the call?
When a player steps on the out of bounds line, the ball is out of bounds and the opposing team will get possession. It doesn't matter if a defender commits a foul afterwards, the ball was out of bounds first, so this is the call.
In NFL if player is in bounds but the ball is out of bounds is it still a 1st down?
If the player fails to cross the ball where ever the marker is before he physically steps out of bounds then it is not a first down. Although I'm not certain, I think the ball has to cross the marker in bounds as well.
When is the soccer ball considered out of bounds?
If a player leaves the field during the normal course of play, they may continue to play the ball. Even as their body is off the field. Leaving the field as a form of deception, dissent, or as an offside trap tactic is a cautionable offense.
If a player in basketball saves the ball from going out of bounds but he himself goes out and then comes back and picks up the ball is this ok?

Can a player be called for basketball offsides if they step out of bounds while in possession of the ball"?
No, a player cannot be called for offsides in basketball. The term "offsides" is not used in basketball rules. If a player steps out of bounds while in possession of the ball, it is called a "out of bounds" violation, and the ball is turned over to the opposing team.
Can a player run out of bounds and come back in to make a play?
During the course of play, as long as you reestablish legal position on the court prior to receiving the ball play continues without penalty. An inbounds play may be a different case. I believe you cannot be the first one to touch the inbounded ball if you go out of bounds to shake a defender.
How many steps does it take to walk a football field?
To walk the length of a football field, which is typically 100 yards or 300 feet, the number of steps will vary based on an individual's stride length. On average, a person's stride length is about 2.5 feet. Therefore, it would take approximately 120 steps (300 feet divided by 2.5 feet per step) to walk the length of a football field.
If a kick off returner fumbles the ball in the end zone still in play then steps out of bounds can he come back into the endzone and down the ball?
If a player who was out of bounds steps back in and downs the ball, it would be a touchback, and the ball would be spotted on the 20-yard-line. However, that player would get penalized for illegal participation, bringing the ball back some.
Can a defensive player go out of bounds then return to the field to tackle an offensive player?
Yes he can. If you want proof you can see it in a Super Bowl XLIII re-run where #92 of the Steelers ran that interception back for a touchdown. Larry Fitzgerald was out of bounds just before he tackled #92 in the end zone. Only if the player was forced out of bounds by the opposing team can he come back in to make a tackle which was not the case in SB XLIII and Fitzgerald. He may have been forced out by an Arizona player but he was no forced out by a Pittsburgh player. He was not flagged because they simply did not see it.
