Decision

When a
game is being played on an indoor playing court and the ball
accidentally hits the ceiling, the game is
restarted
by a kick-in, awarded to the opposing team to the one which last
touched the ball.
The
kick-in is taken from a point on the nearest touch line to the
intersection between either touch line and the imaginary line that
runs parallel to the goal line and the place below where the ball
hit the ceiling
