1. Safety
It is a safety when:
a.  A runner carries the ball from the field of play to or across his/her own goal line, and it becomes dead there in he/her team’s possession.
a. A player forces a loose ball from the field of play to or across his/her goal line by his/her pass, fumble, snap, muff, or bat and the ball subsequently becomes dead there in his/her team’s possession. This includes when the ball is declared dead on or behind their goal line. However, it does not apply to a legal forward pass which becomes incomplete.
b. Afterwards ­ When a safety is scored the ball belongs to the offending team at its own 15 yard line and that team shall put the ball in play.
