       Grain, granule, pebble, cobble or boulder?

       Other than the opposition try line...

       I can do you a deal on two with points, two flats, and a packet
       of gravel...

       Well, yes, but not in an absolute sense, any more than any other
       line, real or imaginary. It gives the direction, in the same way
       that perpendicular to the touchline does. But I don't think you
       can pass the ball forwards NFL style beyond the try line.

       I just think being constantly told that I dont understand the
       Law is proof that the Law needs rewriting. I humbly ask you to
       accept that I am not an imbecile and am still capable of cogent
       thought...

       And? Putting a GPS sensor inside the ball in combination with
       that line, or any other virtual or real line can't define a
       forward pass, on its own.

       Well, since no solution works perfectly "on its own", should we
       not bother with anything?

       That's not what I meant. I just meant that you need more input
       than a GPS in the ball and a direction because you need to take
       into account the motion of the passer. Whether it's feasible or
       not I have no idea.

       I know GPS can track a car's speed fairly accurately, but it
       can't really deal with a jinking runner I would have thought.
       But BB is right, if you knew speed of the runner towards the try
       line, flight of the ball relative to try line and knowing
       distance of pass it'd be easy enough to compute whether the ball
       goes forward (assuming someone has built a table of distance
       forward to allow for different speeds).
       Does the speed of the pass affect this too? Does a long, loopy
       throw go forward differently to a pass like a bullet?
       It's all too much for my little brain, no wonder the ref just
       waves play on unless it's hugely obvious.
