• A1 touches, pickups, dribbles, doesn't matter...violation.

Did I get that???

No. No violation.

Lets break down the rule...

Rule 9-1...A player shall not be the first to thouch the ball

Check. They were first.

after it has been in team control in the frontcourt,

Check. Team A had team control and the ball gained FC status.

if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt.

Nope.

Who was the last to touch the ball in the frontcourt BEFORE it went to the backcourt? B1. Therefore, no violation.
