In interactional or non targeted sports ... it is the failure of one of the teams to take a positive action that results in a score for the opposing team. That is, there is no definite delimited well defined scoring action. Any legal positive action taken by the offense can result in a score (can constitute a scoring action) if the other team cannot respond by keeping the action going. ... An action scores if the defense cannot make a positive action. There is also correspondingly no distinctive defensive action: positive actions are simultaneously defensive actions. 2, record 1, English, - positive%20action
