Rule 3, SECTION 22 PASS (pg 16)
ARTICLE 1. PASS.
A pass is the movement caused by a player intentionally handing, throwing, shoveling (shovel pass), or
pushing (push pass) the ball (3-25-2). Such a movement is a pass even if the ball does not leave his hand or hands, provided a
teammate takes it (hand-to-hand pass).
ARTICLE 2. PASSER AND PASSING TEAM.
A player who makes a legal forward pass is known as the Passer until the play ends. The teammates of any player who passes the ball forward (legally or illegally) are known collectively as the Passing Team or Passers.
ARTICLE 3. PASS PLAY.
A Pass Play begins with the snap and ends when a forward pass thrown from behind the line of
scrimmage is caught by a player of either team or is incomplete. After the pass is caught, a Running Play begins.
ARTICLE 4. FORWARD PASS.
It is a forward pass if:
(a) the ball initially moves forward (to a point nearer the opponent’s goal line) after leaving the passer’s hand(s); or
(b) the ball first touches the ground, a player, an official, or anything else at a point that is nearer the opponent’s goal line than
the point at which the ball leaves the passer’s hand(s).
(c) When a Team A player is holding the ball to pass it forward, any intentional movement forward of his hand starts a forward
pass.

Rule 3
Item 1. Contact by Team B Player. If a Team B player contacts the passer or the ball after forward movement begins, a forward
pass is ruled, regardless of where the ball strikes the ground or a player. When this occurs, intentional grounding rules do not
apply.
If a Team B player contacts the passer or the ball before forward movement begins, the direction of the pass is the responsibility
of the passer, and grounding rules apply.
Item 2. Passer Tucks Ball.
If the player loses possession of the ball during an attempt to bring it back toward his body, or if the
player loses possession after he has tucked the ball into his body, it is a fumble.
Item 3. Passer re-cocks his arm. If the player loses possession of the ball while attempting to re-cock his arm, it is a fumble.
Item 4. Fumbled or Muffed Ball Goes Forward. The fact that a fumbled or muffed ball goes forward is disregarded, unless the
act is ruled intentional. If it is intentional, a fumbled ball that goes forward is a forward pass (8-1-1), and a muff is a bat (12-5-1).
