10yd hit [ten jɑ͟ː(r)d hɪ̱t] (Shinty) Awarded to the defending side if an attacker has run the ball over the byline without a goal being scored.
All-rounder [ɔ͟ːl ra͟ʊndə(r)] (Cricket) is a player who is considered to be of a high standard at both batting and bowling.

Bad light [bæ̱d la͟ɪt] (Cricket) When the umpires judge that the light is too poor to allow the game to continue in safety.

    All football fields, professional, college, and high school, are the same size and have the same basic markings. The length of the pitch for international adult matches is in the range of 100-110 m and the width is in the range of 64-75 m. The longer boundary lines are touchlines, while the shorter boundaries (on which the goals are placed) are goal lines. A rectangular goal is positioned at the middle of each goal line. Nets are usually placed behind the goal, but are not required by the Laws. In front of each goal is an area known as the penalty area. This is a rectangular area, 40.2m wide and extending 16.5m into the field where the goalkeeper operates. A standard adult football match consists of two periods of 45 minutes each, known as halves. Each half runs continuously, meaning that the clock is not stopped when the ball is out of play. There is usually a 15-minute half-time break between halves. The end of the match is known as full-time. Anytime during the match, a team can substitute upto three players maximum. The game is controlled by a referee who is the official timekeeper for the match, and may make an allowance for time lost through substitutions, injured players requiring attention, or other stoppages. There are also two linesmen who keep guard of the touchlines or sidelines, signalling when the ball crosses the boundary lines. The referee alone signals the end of the match. Handling the ball deliberately, pushing or tripping an opponent, or hitting a player from behind are examples of fouls, punishable by a direct free kick or penalty kick depending on where the offence occurred. Other fouls are punishable by an indirect free kick. The referee may punish a player's or substitute's misconduct by a caution (yellow card) or sending-off (red card). A player is given a yellow card is said to have been 'booked'. Penalty Cards • Yellow - Warning card for dangerous play. A second yellow card at the same…

    Instead of throwing the ball straight to the Catcher, the bowler skips the ball to the catcher and the batter attempts to hit the ball. Cricket has over 30 places a defender could place themselves, but, only 11 defenders are allowed on the field at one time (Cricket Rules). There are only two bases on the field, including home plate. A cricket field is usually oval in shape and 450 plus feet in every direction of the batter including behind the player (Cricket Rules). Cricket batters use bats with a small oval handle with a wide flat barrel to make it easier to hit the ball. Defenders do not use gloves because the players need to be quick and a baseball style glove would slow the player down and make it difficult to field the ball Cricket Rules).…

    Now, the baseball field sometimes called the “baseball diamond” is specially designed field composed of two basic parts, the infield and the outfield. The infield is the center of the action. It’s defined by four rugged pads set in the ground called bases at equal distance from each other, forming a square diamond shape. The path from each base to the next is made of dirt, rather than grass. Now past the dirt border that defines the infield is a large swath of green turf called outfield. The foul lines continue on through the outfield, but otherwise, the space is open and undefined by structures or lines. There are few defensive players in the outfield who try to catch long distance hits. The outfield bulges out in the center, behind second base. The outer edge of the field is called fence.…

    I have been playing soccer for almost ten years, and it is my passion. I chose this particular topic to explore the mathematical relevance of the sport, to attempt to further my knowledge of the game, and possibly improve my play through mathematical research. Football, also known as “the beautiful game”, is the most popular sport in the world, played by people of all ages and countries. It requires two teams of eleven players, including one goalkeeper, a regulation size field, a standard soccer ball, and an officiating team for official play. The objective of the game is to score the ball into the opposing team’s net, and with the exception of the goalkeeper and throw-ins, the players are not allowed to use their hands. Players use the rest of their body to dribble, pass, and shoot to drive toward the other opponents’ goal. The team with the most goals at the end of the match is declared the winner.…

    This is what decides the winner at the end of the game. In order to score a goal, you must hit the ball into the opponent’s goal with your foot, head, or other body parts. The only exception to that is you may not use anything from your elbow down to your fingertips or it is a penalty. Bottom line, if that ball goes in, even by accident, it’s a goal.…

    A long time ago, cricket fighting caught on in the imperial court, with the emperor leading the fad. A local magistrate in Huayin, who wanted to win the favor of the monarch, tried in every way to get him the best fighting crickets. He had a strategy for doing so: He managed to get a cricket that was very good at fighting. He then made his subordinates go to the heads of each village and force them to send in a constant supply of fighting crickets. He would send to the imperial court the crickets that could beat the one he was keeping.…
