Then the next question?
Q. My question has to do with the ball falling on the line. I understand that if the ball falls on the line, it is considered good, and if doubt exists, it should be considered good. My question is just exactly what is considered “on the line”. If the whole of the ball falls directly on the center of the line, I would call that good. And, of course, if the ball hits the line further in, it would be called good. But what if the ball hits the line a little closer towards being out rather than the center of the line?
A. If the ball is 99% out and only 1% in, then it is considered 100% in. If any part of the ball touches any part of the line, then it is always good.
If you are not completely positive that a ball is entirely out, then offer the benefit of doubt to your opponent. If you do this to him, then he will more likely do this to you on future close calls.
