The blue line is what separates the neutral zone from a team's offensive and defensive zones.
In hockey, being offside means a player crosses the blue line into the offensive zone before the puck. Being in the neutral zone means a player is in the area between the blue lines.
The zone between the two blue lines
The neutral zone, the defensive zone and the offensive zone. Both the defensive zone and offensive zone depend on which direction your team is going. The neutral zone is found within the two blue lines.
The distance between the bluelines ( commonly called the neutral zone or centre ice) is 50 feet.
The determining factor for an offside in hockey once the puck has crossed the blue line is the position of the players in relation to the blue line at the moment the puck is played. A player is considered offside if both of their skates cross the blue line into the attacking zone before the puck does. If any part of the puck is still within the blue line when a player enters the attacking zone, that player is onside. Additionally, players must remain onside until the puck is fully across the blue line.
In football, an offside occurs when a player is on the wrong side of the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped, while a neutral zone infraction happens when a defensive player moves into the neutral zone before the ball is snapped.
It is on the offensive side of the ball, across the line of scrimmage. It is called off sides or neutral zone infraction.
Encroachment in football occurs when a defensive player crosses the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped. Offsides is when an offensive or defensive player is beyond the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped. A neutral zone infraction happens when a defensive player moves into the neutral zone and causes an offensive player to false start.
The length of the football defines the width of the neutral zone. When the referee places the ball on the ground, no player on either team (except the center on offense) may may line up with any part of their body inside the neutral zone. The neutral zone extends the entire width of the playing field.
The line of scrimmage is an imaginary line passing through the foremost point of the ball after the ball is marked ready for play. The space occupied by the ball is considered the neutral zone. The defense must stay on their side of the neutral zone and only the snappers hands may be in the neutral zone for the offense. Measurements are taken at the foremost point of the ball and the foremost point must touch the goal line for a touchdown.. When an offense is running out of its own endzone it must get the ball completely out of the endzone or it is a safety.
In football, a neutral zone infraction occurs when a defensive player moves into the neutral zone before the ball is snapped, causing the offense to react. Offsides, on the other hand, is when a player crosses the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped. Both result in penalties, but offsides is typically called on the offense and neutral zone infraction on the defense.
