    • Point of First Touching
    • Point of Actual Possession
  • Point of Blocked Kick
I think that's it.

What we do not care about:
  • Point of Interception
  • Point of Fumble Recovery
  • Point of Foul
    • Exception: DPI < 15 y
Juggling, for those of us using Fed rules, stripping the ball is a fumble.

2-18 defines a fumble as any loss of player possession other than by handing, passing or legal kick.
2-19 defines handing as something between teammates (there's more but it isn't relevant here).

So in our rule code stripping of the ball from A by B in a pile is a fumble (even though the ball hasn't hit the group) and we bag that. If Canadian code defines a fumble and handing the same way, then based on your list of points of interest, I would think you'd have a bag too - but that all depends on your definitions.
