Hi refs,
Question on the build out line rules.
What is the definition of "ball is put into play by the goalkeeper"? Is it as soon as the ball leaves the keeper's possession? Is it as soon as the ball is received by the field player? Sometimes it could take 2-3 seconds for a ball to roll across the box from the keeper to the field player. I've also seen this called differently by various refs.
Thanks in advance!

After the ball is put into play by the goalkeeper, the opposing team can cross the build out line and play resumes as normal.
