2. RULING: A 1/10 B25 Completed legal forward pass. The pass was not completed until A88's body landed on the ground in control of the ball. B44 commits a live ball personal foul during a passing play. The 15-yard penalty is enforced from the previous spot, B's 40. It is not defensive pass interference since A88 had touched the pass when the contact occurred. A88's run and related running play started and ended when the catch was completed. Thus, the foul occurred during a passing play and not during a running play. If the official rules that A88 was downed when contacted by B44, it would be a dead ball personal foul. If it was fourth down and a dead ball foul, the ball would go over on downs. If a roughing the passer foul occurred, the 15-yard penalty would be enforced from the end of A88's run, B's 30. It would be A 1/10 B15.
3. RULING: B 1/10 A25. Cancel the score. The foul by B92 is considered a personal foul. Since the foul was not flagrant, no penalty is enforced to start Team B's series. If B92 took off his helmet voluntarily during B44's run, this foul would be unsportsmanlike conduct and the 15-yard penalty would be enforced to start Team B's series. B92 must sit out the first down of the second possession.
4. RULING: A 1/10 A34. There are three running plays during the down. The first ended when the A14 took the snap. The second ended when A33 caught the backward pass. The foul occurred during the second running play. The 15-yard penalty is enforced from the previous spot and carries a first down. If the foul occurred during the third running play, the penalty would be enforced from the end of A33's run, A's 37. Team A will give up the three yards to get the first down on A's 34. COMMENT: After the penalty is enforced, an official observes on the jumbotron that the foul occurred during A33's run. What do you DO???
5. RULING: Extra period. Team B will decline the penalty for A49's grasping the face mask personal foul and the game will go into an extra period. The penalty does not carry over to the extra period. A personal foul, live ball or dead ball, is not considered an unsportsmanlike foul and is not subject to the two unsportsmanlike fouls disqualification rule. However, A49 would be disqualified if the foul was considered flagrant. In this play, the penalty still would not carry over to the extra period. Unsportsmanlike conduct fouls are noncontact fouls.
6. RULING: A 1/goal B1. The clock starts on the snap. The 10-yard penalty for B72's holding foul is enforced half the distance from B's 2. Team B loses the privilege of taking the ball at the spot of the violation since the penalty for a live ball foul during the down was accepted. If A23 was able to make it into Team B's end zone, Team B would get the ball at the spot of the illegal touching. If Team B's foul was a personal foul, the touchdown would count. (NOTE: It is not always a career saving move to base onfield decisions on what the crew thinks may be fair.)
7. RULING: B 1/10 A49. The play is reviewable per 12-3-3-c, "live ball not ruled dead in possession of a ball carrier". All action after B44 was ruled down is during a dead ball. Only 15-yard penalties are enforced from the dead ball spot. This includes penalties for personal fouls and unsportsmanlike fouls. Fouls for holding and a block in the back are not enforced.
