Clearly, a player completely behind the rear foot is onside, and someone infront of the rear foot is offside, but at which point does a player change from onside to offside.
Is it all of the player that has to be behind the rear foot, or is it only the feet.
For example a player in the guard position (3 point stance) has both feet behind the line and his hand is touching the floor infront of the line, then is that player offside or onside? Is a player offside if their head is infant of the line? Or should any player that is that close be regarded as offside if it is not 100% clear cut that they are onside?
I could not find any clear definition of the technicalities of this.
