ball placement

Where it sits

Ball placement is the positioning of a ball in sports, particularly in rugby and American football, where how and where the ball touches down determines the outcome of a play.

In rugby, proper ball placement during a try affects the subsequent conversion kick angle.

In American football, officials mark ball placement after each down to determine field position: The ref's ball placement gave them a first down by inches.
