By one of four ways:
1. His/her flag is pulled
2. He/she runs out of bounds
3. Depending on the league you play in but i believe that if he/she drops the ball (fumbles) the play is dead and the ball carrier is down.
4. He/she knee hits the ground they are deemed "stopped" (also depending on the league)
A ball carrier is a person who carries an American football during a game.
No. Tripping by a blocker for the ball carrier or by a defender trying to tackle the ball carrier is illegal and is a 10 yard penalty.
defence
Tackle the ball carrier.
1) In flag football, padding and helmets are not used. 2) In tackle football in order to bring down a ball carrier you have to tackle him and his knee has to touch the ground. Where as in flag football only the flag has to be pulled off in order to bring the ball carrier to a stop. 3) Offensive and Defensive lineman are not usually used in flag football.
defence becomes the offence get that ball defence becomes the offence get that ball defence becomes the offence get that ball get that ball get thattt balll;)
Where ever the football is when the knee goes down or where ever the ball is when forward progress is stopped.
Nope. Once you drop the ball, the game gets stopped and the ball goes to the opposing team.

No football was first and allowed the ball to be handled. The ball carrier was allowed to retreat toward their own team players to pass the ball if carried. The laws changed in the lat 1800s and the handling of the ball was outlawed by the newly formed Football Association. teams wishing to keep the handling rules broke away and formed the Rugby Football Union
Flag football is very similar to regular football. It is played without pads and a "tackle" is accomplished by removing a flag from a ball carrier's belt.
no it is defined as follows: player is down when knee or above, or forearm or elbow is cleary on the ground.
