8. RECEIVING
8.1. A catch is the act of firmly establishing and maintaining control of a live ball in flight.
A catch of an opponent’s pass or fumble is an interception.

8.2. A player who leaves the ground to make a catch or interception must have the ball
firmly controlled when first returning to the ground with any part of the body
touching the ground in bounds and then maintain complete and continuous
control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground to complete
the pass. If the player loses control of the ball and the ball touches the ground
before the process of the catch is completed, then it is not a catch.

8.3. If a player runs out of bounds while running his route, he is not eligible to be the first
player to receive the pass.

11.1. The defense may rush the quarterback provided that the rusher starts seven (7) yards
from the LOS when the ball is snapped. A special marker or field official will designate
seven (7) yards from the LOS.

11.2. A defender who lines up with all parts of their body more than 7 yards away from the
scrimmage line at the snap can establish themselves as a blitzer with a legal signal by
raising one hand clearly above the head at least during the last second prior to the
snap. This grants them right of way which supersedes the general right of way for the
offense, because they are pursuing the runner. The rush of a blitzer shall be
immediately after the snap, quick and straight towards the point where the
quarterback receives the snap in order to retain the right of way. If a blitzer is rushing
late, slowly, towards a different spot, changing direction during the rush or just does
not rush the quarterback, the player loses the right of way but still can participate as
any other defender.

11.3. A defender who does not give a signal and legally crosses the scrimmage line is a
rusher.

11.4. There are no limits to the number of rushers.

11.5. Players not rushing the QB may defend at the line of scrimmage (LOS).

11.6. Once the ball has been handed off, pitched, or passed, or even during a Fake Hand-
Off, the 7-YARD RULE is no longer in effect and all defenders are eligible to rush.

11.7. Male rushers crossing female offensive line will practice utmost caution when rushing.
