[ML99]

We had the following situation today:

We had a ball fumbled into the endzone. both teams tried to recover the ball. There was a big pile on the ball. We digged. At the end a player of each team had the ball in their hands. Simultaneously possession of both teams. In my opinoin it should belong to the Offense than and a TD should have been ruled.

The Ump and the LJ both said (after we found out the simultaneously possession) that the Team B had possesion on the ground before the pile developed.

It looked stupid to dig - find a team A and team B player both holding the ball and than enforce a Touchback because the 2 colleagues of mine saw the Team B possession before the pile grew.

What to do in such a situation?

Comments are welcome ...
