How does the yellow line on the football field work on TV?
106862
The yellow line is the spot on the field call the FIRST DOWN MARKER. If the offense can get the ball over that line, then they get a first down.\n\nNow, in case you were asking about the actual graphic, it is placed with a computer program. It's very much like the lines that Madden ang gang draw on the field during replays, except that it stretches between two sets points, like a line in Microsoft Paint. As the camera zooms and pans, the computer refigures the points and draws a yellow line between them. The process is so fast that you can't see it, but it redraws the line every time the camera moves.\n\nGood Luck!

You can see the entire play develop.  One thing to watch is the secondary, do they blitz, play zone, come up to support the run.  Does a Defensive end drop back to take away a passing lane while a linebacker blitzes on the other side where there are fewer blockers.  Is the offense throwing timing routes, or are they having the recievers try to sheild the defensive backs from the ball.  How is the tightends being used, are they pushing up the field, running short curl routes, or are they helping in the pass protection scheme and run support.  Football is a sport that is great both live and on TV.

The ball is only "grounded" if it's in the end zone...if the ball is between the goal lines, its a live ball and either team can pick it up.  An onside kick is just shorter and the kicking team has a higher chance of getting the ball back

it's purpose it to mark the end of the play and where the ball should be placed for the next play.  That location then becomes the line of scrimmage.

It seems that the skycam operator is instructed to keep the camera behind the ball.  And if it happens they have a replay.  Definitely check out my source.

And your teacher would be correct. The marks are not required but almost all levels use them to help players and the referee know where the 10 yards are. On all free kicks, with special circumstances, it is required for the the defending team to retire the 10 yards. Any violation would result in a yellow card for the offender. Those marks, in each corner of the field is 11 yards from the corner flag, but 10 yards from the corner arc where the corner kicks are taken. I hope this helps. I am a United States Soccer Federation referee.

When you are the closest to the opponent's goal when your teammates passes the ball.\n\nIt's a vertical line. Sometimes they show it on TVs =P

its to ensure players are 10 yards from the ball when a penalty is taken.\n\nThis is worked on the radius from the penalty spot as the edge of the 16 yard box is closer to the penalty spot directly behind it so when a penalty is taken, players are not allowed in the semi circle.

It connects to a TV antenna or cable connection. Run the TV setup and choose what option you want. If you choose cable, you will need to hook it into your existing cable line if you have one. If you dont, you will need to subscribe to cable.

think has to do with game-fixing. celeb tv/sport telecaster in italy charged w/ choosing which match to broadcast, based on fixed fixtures. team managers, players may also b involved in football betting scandal

If you have the yellow, white, and red wire you are all set.\nFirst you have to connect the cable companys cable to the VHS and then connet the colored wire to the T.V. then insert a cassest into the VHS and press record when the show starts

the process is called line striping. you need two pieces of equipment to do this: a mower and a roller. i've also seen on 'This Week in Baseball', some teams actually use GPS (don't ask me how) to make sure the lines are straight and true. three reasons why i can never get my yard to look like turner field....

I can't speak to the comparison between the two because I have no idea what rugby is like.  Essentially...  The team with the ball has four chances (called "downs") to advance the ball ten yards.  If successful, they get four new downs to advance the ball another ten yards, and they try to keep going, ten yards at a time, until they reach the end zone (this is a "touchdown," which is worth six points plus a chance for one more if they kick a short field goal).  Probably 95-99 times out of 100 if the team hasn't advanced the ball ten yards after third down, they'll use fourth down to either punt it to the other team or attempt to kick a field goal (for three points).  Football is far too complex to fully explain here (check that wikipedia link that the other person left), but those are the most basic of the basics for the new football-watcher.

Very rarely used anymore. Every once in awhile you will catch team using it, once in a blue moon as they say. Basically as was said the QB fakes a pass. His hand is up in a throwing motion. Usually as he does that a RB comes up from behind or running from the side and behind and grabs the ball from the other hand. Statue of Liberty is that the one hand is up in a throwing motion, like the torch, and the other is kinda tucked down for the hand off, like the tablet. As to the slight tuck it is in case they don't get the other team to bite well enough and the QB has to run.

Yellow and red cards were first introduced in the game by British referee Ken Aston and its first major use was in the 1970 World Cup:\nThe cards are shown to the players who have committed a foul.

There are a lot, and college and pro are different. I guess to start assume the offense is on the 20 yard line. They have 4 tries to go 10 yards. They move closer each time they run or throw the ball, or they might get it on the first try. If they get the 10 yards it is called a first down. After getting a first down they get 4 more tries, or a new set of downs. Normally teams don't go for it on 4th down, unless they MUST win the game or they only have a yard or 2 to get the first down. If you go for it on 4th and don't get the first down, then you have to turn the ball over to the other team right there and this usually gives the other team excellent field position. On the 4th down teams usually punt, or if they are on the other teams' 30 or 40 yard line they may try a field goal. That's basically how the offense moves, there are so many variables.. Penalties, sacks, interceptions,etc...You could fill a book about the rules of football. My advice to you is sit down and watch a few games by yourself. It's not difficult, you'll start to figure it out. Also, there are a ton of books that can help with basic understanding. Good luck.
