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.

You are completely correct! I was thinking of striping the ball in the sense that a B player takes the ball out of the hands of an A player. But if B knocks the ball away from A's possession, but doesn't yet have it himself, then the ball is loose, and should be bagged.
You would surprised how many times I see the ball switch from A to B without the ball being airborne. It happens 3-4 times every season in pop warner!
