2. AP: Setting arrow when jumper catches toss
Following the jump bewtween A1 and B5 to start the game, the tapped ball: ... (b) is caught by A1. Ruling: ...In (b), Team B will also have a throw-in because it is a violation for a jumper to catch the ball and will have the arrow since A1 had control when catching the tapped ball.
