Tie Ball
A tie ball is called when two opposing players catch the ball simultaneously, hold the ball without gaining possession, or commit a double foul or when the officials are in doubt as to which side last touched the ball before it went out of bounds. In case of a tie ball, the official puts the ball into play by a jump ball as in basketball. All players must be back five feet from the spot of the jump ball until one of the jumpers has touched it.
