According to the NF rulebook, it takes 18.7 pounds per square inch of pressure on a player to mandate a foul call. Of course, international rules are different because they are metric. In FEEBLE (FIBA), it's 9.56 kilos per cubic hectare.
Mark, is there any adjustment for games at high altitudes, as the air pressure is different?

BTW, what is up with you today?
