USSF/FIFA----Drop ball
NFHS------IFK

Yes.

USSF/FIFA----Drop ball
NFHS------IFK for team with possession

Yes you are correct, providing, in NFHS, the team taking the IDFK was in possession of the ball at the time you stopped play.

This is kind of an implied rule in the USSF as it isnt directly addressed like it is in NFHS.....I won a beer on this one.

grey, i do'nt quite get your drift...but from what i think i'm reading, it's more of a spirit thing to give an IFK than a law thing???

Grey, USSF/FIFA does address this clearly in Law 8, under the heading
"dropped Ball." You have a temporary stoppage for the injury while the ball was in play. and, it was for a reason not mentioned anywhere in the Laws.

I guess what I mean is I am looing for a statement that directly addresses that exact situation exclusively in the LOTG the same as in the NFHS rules........It is covered but not as easily for all to find, which is why the discussion came up during a state cup game I had this weekend. My AR said it was a IFK......I said I disagree and wanteed to prove it clearly in the LOTG....You kind f have to walk through a few steps to come to the conclusion:
1)the list of IFK offenses(it is not in there)
2)DFK offenses(not there either)
3)dropped ball description---everything not somewhere else.....
Kind of hard for us with a second grade reading comprehension level!

Dropped ball rule says it's the restart for all occurances not mentioned elsewhere. Injuries aren't mentioned elsewhere. Therefore the restart for a injury is a drop ball.

Where exactly is the confusion? Imagine if they had to describe every single possible incident in the rules instead of saying anything else...

[lanman]

Most of the time a drop ball after this kind of incident will result in the team who had possession prior to the stopage either being given the ball unopposed, or the other side clearing the ball back to the opposition defence. There is usually an unofficial "code of conduct" between sides.
