REPLY: It all revolves aroound an understanding of "force."
PLAY: Team A attempts a sweep on the try. A11 fumbles at B's 4. The ball is at rest at B's 3 when B22 muffs it and it rebounds into B's endzone. There, it is recovered by a prone B33.
RULING: Since the force which put the ball into B's endzone was B22's muff, the result of the play is a safety. Award A 1 point.
