[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the new drop ball rules?  Seems like the referee now plays it to the team they felt had possession now vs. the old challenge drop ball.  [/quote]

8.2 Dropped ball
Procedure
The ball is dropped for the defending team goalkeeper in their penalty area if, when play was stopped:

the ball was in the penalty area or

the last touch of the ball was in the penalty area

In all other cases, the referee drops the ball for one player of the team that last touched the ball at the position where it last touched a player, an outside agent or, as outlined in Law 9.1, a match official

All other players (of both teams) must remain at least 4 m (4.5 yds) from the ball until it is in play

The ball is in play when it touches the ground.

Offences and sanctions
The ball is dropped again if it:

touches a player before it touches the ground

leaves the field of play after it touches the ground, without touching a player

If a dropped ball enters the goal without touching at least two players, play is restarted with:

a goal kick if it enters the opponents’ goal

a corner kick if it enters the team’s goal[/quote]
