1. When the ball lands on the floor, the compression which allows the ball to make contact with the line AT ANY TIME during the process of contacting the floor makes the ball ‘IN’.
2. The cables binding the net beyond the 9.50/10.0 m in length do not belong to the net. This also applies to the posts and the cables. Thus, if a ball touches an external part of the net, beyond its side bands (9 m), it has touched a “foreign object” and should be whistled and signaled as “ball out”.
