	Intentional base on balls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Receiving an intentional base on balls does not count as an official at bat for a batter but does count as a plate appearance, and a base on balls.
		The Marlins' Miguel Cabrera hit an intentional ball thrown by Todd Williams during the 10th inning resulting in a run scored for the Marlins.
		The purpose of an intentional walk is to bypass a good hitter in order to face a batter that the defensive team feels they have a better chance at getting out, or to set up a double play ball by putting a runner on first base.

		If the interference is intentional, the ball shall be dead at the moment of the interference and the umpire shall impose such penalties as in his opinion will nullify the act of interference.
		In the latter case it is clearly intentional and shall be dealt with as intentional interference as in Rule 3.15.
		Umpire decides that because of the distance the ball was hit, the runner on third base would have scored after the catch if the fielder had caught the ball which was interfered with, therefore, the runner is permitted to score.

	Hack-a-Shaq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fouling "off the ball" like that, however, eventually became a problem for the league when a player came onto the scene who was of true superstar calibre, but was an atrociously bad free throw shooter.
		Since the entire reason for employing intentional fouling as a strategy was to quickly terminate the offensive team's possession, this new rule, when in effect, forced the team using intentional fouling to foul only the offensive player who had the ball.
		During the 2000 NBA Playoffs, there were two games in particular, one involving the Portland Trail Blazers and one involving the Indiana Pacers, in which the Hack-a-Shaq defense was employed by those two teams against the Lakers so relentlessly as to render the games virtually unwatchable with their incessant stoppages for foul shots.

	Soccer Rules
		If the ball hits the ceiling net, the ball is placed in the middle of the closest of the 3 lines from the point it was last touched, including balls kicked from the goal box.
		When the whole of the ball passes over the end perimeter wall between the corner flags (yellow lines), having last been touched by the attacking team, play shall be restarted by a goal kick.
		The goalkeeper may not handle the ball in her penalty area if it was intentionally passed to him by foot and by a teammate.

		Intentional fouls - At the end of a game, we see many coaches yelling ³foul her, foul her.² When the foul comes immediately thereafter, it should be intentional.
		Remember, an intentional foul may be a foul with excessive contact, or it may be called because of the ³INTENT² of the action.
		In north central Iowa, we had an official call an intentional foul solely because he heard someone yelling ³foul her.² The person calling for the foul was a fan - not the coach.

		Fly balls and home runs can also be hit by moving the Joystick diagonally to the lower left and lower right; the lower right position hits the ball to left field, and the lower left position hits to right field.
		An intentional ball will always be counted as a ball unless the batter swings, in which case it counts as a strike.

	No Such Thing as a Free Pass from The Hardball Times
		The original Cartwright Rules stated: "Three balls being struck at and missed and the last one caught is a hand out; if not caught, is considered fair, the striker bound to run." A batter could take all the pitches he wanted until he got one he wanted to hit.
		This did nothing to prevent the pitcher from throwing wide, though, and in 1863, the "ball" was invented, and batters awarded first base when, in the judgment of the umpire, and after a warning, the pitcher had thrown three unfair balls before the batter had struck out.
		The intentional walk has it's utility, there are situations where it's a good idea to use it, and it shouldn't necessarily be eliminated because it's being exploited.

	2002 Rule Changes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A foul tip is a batted ball, which goes directly from the bat, not higher than the batters head, to the catcher’s hands or glove/mitt, and is legally caught by the catcher.
		Time is called when; the pitcher has control of the ball in the eight- (8) foot circle, the ball is held in front of the lead runner, the infielder has control of the ball within the infield.
		When play stops and the ball becomes dead, a runner who occupies a base beyond the one he/she was entitled to steal, the runner will be returned to the correct base without liability to be put out.

		When he tries to stop the passing motion, the ball is no longer in his grasp and is in contact with neither hand.
		I was wondering on scenario 2 that the ball which is caught in midair could be interpreted as a pass to oneself which is illegal (btw do you know the rule reference for that).
		When the ball leaves the grasp of a players hands and he touches it before another player touches it, it is only one of three things: dribble, shot, or fumble.

	Rules on spiking the ball? - KFFL Community
		Intentional grounding can only be called when a quarterback throws the ball away to avoid a sack.
		A qb could theoretically drop back and throw the ball at his feet if he was not being pressured by the defense and it would be ruled an incomplete pass (after some argument and discussion among the coaches and officials I'm sure).
		This is why on the botched Giants playoff FG a few years back the holder couldn't have thrown the ball into the ground to stop the clock and go to 4th down.

		Strikes and balls are displayed on the bottom of the screen, and outs are are displayed at the top of the screen between the teams' scores.
		To throw the ball from one player to another, move the joystick handle to select the direction of the throw; then press the joystick fire button to release the ball.
		When the handle is in the center position, pushing the fire button throws the ball to the pitcher; home plate is down from the pitcher; first base is to the right of the pitcher; second is up from the pitcher; and third base is to the left of the pitcher.

		If an opposing player belts the ball from a set piece and the defender goes to block it and it happens to strike his arm then no penalty.
		The point about the new approach where a player becomes active when they touch the ball (which is still more or less universally ignored by everybody) is that it is much clearer than before.
		If the attacker is standing in an offside position when the ball is played through and then touches the ball, he is offside.

		An intentional ball is no different than a wild pitch.
		Leonard Koppett suggests that balls hit be scored separately from strikes, but I think that goes too far.
		And it would be unfair to count intentional balls the same as wild ones, so we need to deduct those from the pitch count total.

		No team control: dead ball, throw-in, jump ball, or ball in flight during a try or tap and during touching of rebound until secured by a player - fouls in these situations are not team control fouls and bonus free throws apply
		A ball thrown or attempted from behind the 3-point line, even if it legally touches a teammate behind the 3-point line or an opponent inside the 3-point line, is considered a 3-point goal unless before passing through the basket it touches: floor, a teammate inside the 3-point line, or an official (2 points)

		Under the standard, swinging strikes, called strikes, foul balls on full counts, and balls in play are counted as Strikes.
		All balls, including those thrown for pitchouts and intentional walks, are counted as Balls.
		Various changes to this method have been proposed, and in that previous column I suggested that "bad strikes" and "intentional balls" should be counted differently than they are under the standard.

	Halfbakery: Baseball rule change: Free Pass (FP) instead of IBB
		However, the leisurely thrown pitches in an 'intentional' walk are fair game for the batter to hit (a rarity); moreover, the official scorer must judge -intent- as part of a play -- clearly a subjective and error-prone endeavor.
		As I acknowledged, the ball is live during an IBB, and folks seem to relish the booing and the rare swing/pickoff andc.
		But if a pitcher tried to intentionally walk a batter, the batter could simply decline until either the batter scored a hit, the batter was put out, or (very unlikely) the batter received a total of 16 walks and thus a free home run.
