		An inning consists of one offensive period and one defensive period.
		The offensive team reaches base by hitting the ball thrown by the defensive team.
		The defensive team can stop the offensive runner by touching the offensive player with the ball, touching the base before the offensive player reaches the base, or by catching the offensive player's hit in the air before the ball touches the ground.

		If the defensive team gains possession in the endzone they are defending play continues at the point of the catch or this player may carry the disc perpendicularly up to the goal line.
		Pick: When an offensive player obstructs the movement of an opponent whether intentional or not, play is resumed with a check of the disc to the offensive player who had possession at the time of the pick.
		The offensive team may elect to punt the frisbee on fourth down and must tell the defense that they will be punting on that down.

	Offensive System
		In all team sports, the team in possession of the ball is attacking and therefore on the offensive, while the team without the ball is defending.
		In fact, at the start of every point, the serving team is considered the defensive team, and the offensive team is actually the one receiving the ball.
		This team may not be the offensive team for the whole point, however.

	World Almanac for Kids
		Before scrimmage begins, the offensive team usually gathers in a circle, called a huddle, and the quarterback tells his team which play is to be used next to try to advance the ball.
		After the team comes out of the huddle, it lines up opposite the opposing team on the line of scrimmage, which is an imaginary line running parallel to the goal lines and intersecting the point of the ball closest to the opposing team’s goal line.
		The offensive team must not interfere by pushing, pulling, holding, or using similar means with a defensive player who is trying to intercept the pass or render it incomplete.

		Their aim is to challenge the opposing team’s goal as quickly as possible rather than move the ball forward through a slow buildup requiring many short passes and combination play.
		The defensive team begins to pressure the ball as soon as it crosses midfield or when proper support is established.
		The intent of constant pressure is to disrupt the rhythm and tempo of the attack and to force a turnover.

	NBA.com RULE NO. 12-FOULS AND PENALTIES
		Technical fouls assessed to opposing teams during the same dead ball and prior to the administering of any free throw attempt for the first technical foul, shall be interpreted as a double technical foul.
		A personal foul committed by the offensive team during a throw-in shall be an offensive foul, regardless of whether the ball has been released.
		The ball shall be awarded to the offended team out-of-bounds on either side of the court at the free throw line extended whether the free throw is suc-cessful or unsuccessful.

	All About Baseball
		The basic contest is always between the pitcher (defending team), and the batter (offensive team).
		Each team is run by a manager, whose primary responsibility during the game is to assign players to fielding positions, determine the lineup, and decide how to substitute players.
		Historically, teams in one league never played teams in the other until the World Series, in which the champions of the two leagues played against each other; this changed in 1997 with the advent of interleague play.

	The Sports Law Professor: Offensive Team Nicknames
		If the answer is that a team need not purchase an "Indian" nickname from an Indian tribe, then that fact is strongly suggestive that the tribe does not own these historical caricatures.
		No one who was raised right would refer to a group of native Americans as "those red skins." Even if one wanted to identify the group as a group, one could refer to their tribe membership in terms that didn't draw attention to skin color.
		I guess some tribes have consented to the use of their name (the "Seminoles"), and in that case, the continued use is legitimate because the team is using the specific name of a specific tribe.

		He was cut from the team in 2005 and is currently on the injury roster for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
		Offensively, Rod Smith's age finally started to catch up with him and he is clearly on his last legs.
		Still, the Vikings are one of the best teams in the NFL at running and stopping the run which is a very good start for any team that wants to become a contender.

		If the offensive team goes for a one-point conversion, the ball is placed on the two-yard line and the kicker must kick it through at set of goal posts at the end of the endzone.
		If the offensive team wants to go for a two-point conversion, the ball is placed on the two-yard line and the offensive team sets up as they do for every normal play.
		The defensive team can also intercept the ball (to catch the ball during the other team, the offensive team's, throw) from the offensive team and run it back for a touchdown.

		The offensive line also uses their muscle to clear a path for the running back to break through for a run.
		The average offensive lineman in the NFL is 6'4" and 300 pounds, which means offensive linemen need to spend a lot of time in the gym pumping iron and a lot of time at buffets pushing food into their mouths!
		A good offensive lineman has to memorize dozens of different offensive plays and drills and also needs to be intelligent enough to recognize the defense and react to their strategy and movements.

	Team Handball
		Team Handball is a game of action and most of the action centers around the player attempting to score.
		A free throw in Team Handball is not the same as in basketball; rather, it is simply a chance for the offended team to gain free and clear possession of the ball.
		The object of Team Handball is to throw the ball into the goal of the opponent and to defend your goal against the opponent.

	Offensive Philosophy
		The primary goal on offense is to play "team basketball." To me, team basketball is about not forcing shots, making the extra pass, and attacking the basket to pass, not shoot.
		This is an ideal team for a stacked, or some other unusual offense devised by the coach which would take advantage of their overall size and using low double screens for the bigger players.
		Offensively, there is little to distinguish the difference between #4 and #5.

	What are the Offensive Positions in Football?
		The offensive team in football is the team in possession of the ball, trying to score points against the other team's defense.
		The offensive linemen are aligned along what is called the line of scrimmage, an imaginary line extending horizontally from the ball to both sidelines.
		The quarterback is the player who calls the offensive plays in the huddle, examines the defense at the line of scrimmage to determine where the play should go, and takes the ball from the center to begin the play.

	SONICS: Statistical Analysis Primer
		At the team level, rebound percentage takes into account the fact that good teams usually outrebound their opponents because defensive rebounds are easier to get than offensive rebounds.
		The total team rebounding percentage is the average of its offensive and defensive rebounding percentages.
		At the team level, there is actually surprisingly little relationship between offensive and defensive rebounding, probably because offensive rebounding depends heavily on whether the coach chooses to crash the boards or play back to prevent fast breaks.

	Team Defensive Drills - Shell Situations Drill \| HoopsU.com Basketball
		Whenever a team scores or recovers a defensive rebound, it immediately passes or dribbles the ball to the center circle.
		The coach keeps calling out the offensive movements and guiding the defense to where they are supposed to go and to cover the people they are supposed to cover.
		Whenever a team stays on offense for a number of times in a row, it provides a lot of incentive for the other teams to "stop them" on defense.

		The broom stick is inserted in an angle pointing towards the offensive team.
		The offense team is safe from being killed (touched by an opponent) when standing in the offense zone since they can be killed by any defensor.

	RocBall - Background Information
		Rocball is a non-contact team net game derivative of volleyball and a Meso-American sport once played by the athletes of the Aztec civilization of what is now the country of Mexico.
		It is the first team net sport to implement offensive and defensive scoring, multiple point plays, plays in which a team can lose point, and the first team net sport to include the combination of kicking and hitting play action.
		In overtime, the total amount of points scored by each team becomes irrelevant: The winners of a Rocball game in overtime will be determined by whichever team wins it's fourth set of play first: In overtime, Rocball sets are completed at eight points or whenever either team scores a goal.

	NFHS Forum: Ball hits offensive team members
		I argued that the ball should have been dead when it hit a member of the offensive team, and that the runner closest to H (R2) should have been called out.
		If the offensive team member has reason to be outside the dugout (i.e., the on-deck batter, a base coach, etc.), then I agree, intent is needed, and absent intent, play on.
		But an offensive team member that is ILLEGALLY outside the dugout does not need intent, the ball is dead.

	Football Mogul 2003 Help
		Although a team can run effectively in this formation, it is not used often in running situations because with few opportunities for misdirection, the defense can focus their tackling efforts on the single running back.
		However, a team with a star running back and strong offensive line can also use this formation to gain yards on the ground, especially using the wide receivers to cause the defensive backfield to commit to defending against the pass.
		Its primary focus is players who can rush the offensive line and block the kick attempt with either their speed or height.
