If relevant, also include other information such as whether the 25 or 40-second play clock will be used, whether the game clock starts on the ready or snap or if there will be an extension of the period.

1. PLAY: Fourth and 22 on A's 48. Team A is in a scrimmage kick formation. The snap is muffed by A8 and while the ball is rolling on A's 42, A8 kicks the ball downfield. B99 recovers the ball on B's 30 and advances to A's 36 where he is downed.


2. PLAY: Fourth and goal on B's 3. A4's field goal attempt is successful. B94 wipes out the kicker with a flagrant foul and is disqualified. A4 breaks his leg. Team A takes the three points.


3. PLAY: Free kick on A’s 30. B44 receives the free kick on B’s 10 and advances to A’s 22 where he is downed. B87 and B88 link arms on B’s 23 and advance to B’s 33 where they block an opponent with their arms still linked.


4. PLAY: Fourth and 10 on A's 40. B44 gives a valid signal for a fair catch on B's 20. Teammate B39 sees the fair catch signal and is on B's 23 facing B44 ready to recover in case B44 muffs the ball. A88 pushes B39 in the back on B's 23 to get into position also in case B44 muffs the ball. B44 does muff the ball, recovers on B's 8 and immediately takes a step out of bounds on B's 9.
