is it *any* part of your body past *any* part of their body? (the attacker's entire body must be completely on-side of the last defender; if they're even it's offside)

Or that *any* part of your body is past *every* part of their body (so it's ok for the attacker to be neutral/in-line with the last defender, but as soon as any part of his body goes past the defender it's a foul)

or that *all* of your body is past *all* of their body (this would be the most defensible interpretation imo)

the second one. note that it's not a foul until a pass is made. you can hang out offside, you just have to return onside before a pass kicked to you.

yeah that's crazy especially given that it's the opposite rule on out of bounds - the whole ball must be completely out.

who gaf if somebody's pinky (which he can't even *use* in this sport) is offside? The whole-person rule would prevent the dreaded goal camping scenario, while avoiding the kind of tactical pettifogging you see right now
