Maybe this will be easier to discuss...
 

Mick, Tony, just how many angels can do the cha-cha on
the head of a pin? Or let's try this: If you're on one
endline will you ever make it to the other one if each step
takes you exactly half the distance to the other? These
are questions that have burned in the hearts & minds of
humans since the dawn of time. (There was one other but
now that we have a presidential proclamation on what the
definition of "is" is we have less of a burden to carry.)

Did we kill that animal? Or what?
 

Per rules:
1-2-1: The playing court shall be marked with sidelines and end lines....The sidelines and end lines shall be a minimum of 2 inches in width.
4-9-1: Boundary lines of the court consist of end lines and sidelines.
4-9-2: The inside edges of these lines define the inbounds and out of bounds areas.
7.2.b: The ball is out of bounds when it touches: b. any other person, the floor or any object <b>on</b> or outside a boundary.
9.2.5 Play: Thrower A1 inadvertantly steps through the plane on the boundary line and touches the court inbounds..... Ruling: A violation.

Sorry, Tony,
I can do no better than read 'em and copy 'em.
We better end....but I think 288 Angels can dance on the head of a pin. Or, is that too gross? (No Rule or Case found) :)

Re: Did we kill that animal? Or what?
 

Mick, is it safe to say that if the thrower in steps ON the line while making the toss, you are blowing the whistle for violation?

I see this about every 4 or 5 games, and I don't feel it is a violation. I only blow if the player steps ACROSS and touches down ON or BEYOND the boundary <b>plane</b>. I think I'm going to stick with this, too.

yup
