    Offside determination requirements

    • time and causality, we need a point in time to check the offside rule - most likely
    • a goal - the king could be seen as kind of a goal
    • at least a 1d coord system to determine if a player is offside - check
    • a penalty zone - debatable
    • players in at least two teams - multiple
    • a ball, that is shot to a player behind the last line of enemy players - No.

    No ball, no offside. Chess with a ball could be interesting, though. :)

      If only there was a link to explainxkcd in the body of the post!

      Edit: LOL, it’s empty for now. The joke is USian discovers football and its rules.

        It’s a running gag that the offside rule has to be explained very often.
