2. A has the ball at B's 5 yard line. A1 drops back to pass and throws into the end zone where the ball bounces off the upright and into the hands of A88. Touchdown? Incomplete pass?

I believe we have an incomplete pass in both cases because the ball or player are in contact with something that is out of bounds thus making the ball dead.

CANADIAN RULING:

1. The body is allowed to interact with the padding with no affect.
2. Incomplete pass as soon as the ball hits the upright.
