Answer

RFIs only change ball in court (BIC) when the RFI has a status of either 'Draft' or 'Open'. Depending on the status of the RFI, the BIC could change for different reasons. See the table below to understand what those reasons could be.

RFI Status	BIC Changes between	BIC Change Mechanism	Why is the RFI in the RFI Manager's Court?	Why is the RFI not in the RFI Manager's Court?
Draft	RFI Manager ⇔ Creator	Manual	RFI Creator has created the RFI for the first time OR RFI Creator corrected RFI per RFI Manager's request and clicked Return to RFI Manager's Court	RFI Creator needs to correct the RFI, so the RFI Manager Returned it to the Creator's Court OR RFI Creator needs to reference another tool for the information they need
Open	RFI Manager ⇒ Assignees	Manual	RFI Manager needs to Review and Open a Draft RFI OR RFI Manager needs to Update Assignees OR RFI Manager needs to Close an RFI
Open	Assignees ⇒ RFI Manager	Automatic		Not all required Assignees have responded to the RFI
