Question Number: 30192Law 11 - Offside 3/13/2016RE: Intermediate Under 13 Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...This question is a follow up to question 30188 Or to use Referee Dawson's usual explanation, if there's a wall of water extending upward from the 5' line & a part of a player's body that can play the ball is on the opponent's dry side, he can be offside. Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi Phil
Thanks for that which is Referee Dawsons analogy to describe same. The issue though is to determine the dry part in a game situation at speed. Could an AR see part of a foot beyond the wall of water the exact moment when the ball is played by a team mate. Therein is the real challenge. Vitally important to know the Law yet calling it is not easy as shown through the use of technology.
