CANADIAN RULING:
A81 stepping OOB is not one of the four valid reasons to touch OOB during a live play. This is illegal participation. Official should flag it.
The four valid reasons for being OOB are:
- being blocked to OOB
- trying to tackle/block an opponent, missing, and having your momentum take you OOB
- fielding a kick
- slipping on the field and touching OOB
