Possession (sports) determined by several methods, including a coin flip (American football and cricket), home team status (baseball), or by giving the teams an equal opportunity to physically take possession; this may be called a dropped-ball (association football), a ball-up (Australian rules football), a jump ball (basketball), or a face-off (hockey). In some timed sports, the team with possession may try to "run time off the clock" by keeping the ball and not attempting to score, in order to deny the opposing team possession. A shot clock speeds gameplay by requiring teams to attempt to score within a certain period of time
Touch (sport) They are usually fast accelerators and must be evasive (fast and agile stepper). A team normally retains possession for a set of six consecutive touches as in rugby league. Possession (or a "Turnover") transfers to the opposing team: A try is awarded when an attacking player, who is not the "acting-half" places the ball on or over the opposition's score line. Each touchdown is worth one point. The Half (or "Acting-Half") is subject to a number of restrictions that do not apply to other players: After 2 passes have been made, the restrictions on the Half are lifted. Play is
