No, the ball must completely cross the goal line before a goal is awarded.
Yes, the entire soccer ball must cross the goal line between the goalposts and under the crossbar for a goal to be awarded in a soccer match.
If a volleyball hits the line in volleyball, the ball is considered to be in (any part of the ball).
No, the kicking team would need to gain possession of the ball. For kickoffs, the ball is considered a 'free ball' once it travels 10 yards from the spot of the kick. The ball is also considered 'free' if a member of the receiving team touches it, but does not gain full possession, before it travels 10 yards from the spot of the kick. The first team whose player gains possession of the ball is awarded the ball. Touching the ball does not signify possession ... a player must have full possession of the ball for his team to be awarded possession. A lot of 'possessions' in that last statement but that is the qualifier as to which team is awarded the ball. Touching the ball means nothing, possessing the ball means everything.
No.
If the ball completely crosses the goal line, between the goal posts and under the cross bar, during active play then a goal is awarded. This is true even if the goal keeper is holding or touching the ball at the time.
a throw in, in soccer is awarded when the ball is out of bounds but only on the side lines
No, it is simply ball four and the runner is safe and the batter is awarded first base on a base on balls.
In basketball, possession is determined by which team last touched the ball before it went out of bounds or a violation occurred. This team is awarded possession of the ball for the next play.
The base runner is out that got hit with the ball as long as he is in fair territory. At this point the ball is considered dead and the runners would go to the base they should be at. Example: Runners at 1st and 2nd. Guy on 2nd running toward 3rd after ball is hit, he is hit. He is out. Runner at 1st is awarded 2nd, batter is awarded 1st and the ball is dead.
It is a dead ball and the batter is awarded first base and is ruled a hit by pitch
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.
