2013 FOOTBALL RULES & INTERPRETATIONS

QUIZ: WEEK #3


RULING FORMAT: Team (A or B) in possession, down, distance and succeeding spot (example: A 1/10 A40). 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, if ZAP 10 is a factor or if there will be an extension of the period.

1. PLAY: 1st/10 B25. First extra period. First series. The score is A28-B28. B44 intercepts A19's legal forward pass and is downed on A's 36. During B44's run, A76 is flagged for a targeting foul. After review, replay reverses the targeting foul.


2. PLAY: 3rd/10 A30. A34 advances to A's 38 near the sideline where he fumbles and there is a pileup for the ball. The HL rules that A74 recovered the ball inbounds on A's 42 while grounded. The SJ states that B66 had his hand on the ball with his foot touching the sideline prior to A74 controlling the ball.


3. PLAY: 2nd/13 B43. Prior to the snap, B96 enters the neutral zone. B96 then moves back and A88, directly in front of B96, false starts. Whistles sound. The ball is snapped and B97 tackles the quarterback. A66 reacts and throws B97 to the ground.


4. PLAY: 4th/12 A8. The score is A24-B27 late in the fourth quarter. A4 muffs the snap and, while the ball is rolling in A's end zone, kicks the ball out of bounds on A's 18.


5. PLAY: 3rd/8 A22. The score is A28-B27. A33 is stopped for no gain. B96's helmet comes off while he is making the tackle. The game clock shows 0:39 in the fourth quarter. Team B is out of timeouts.


6. PLAY: Try B3. Quarter: 4. Clock: 1:00. Score A26-B28. A12 rolls out and his legal forward pass is batted by B96 on B's 7. A12 catches the ball and throws a pass from B's 10 to A82 in B's end zone. B44 pushes A82 in the back before the pass arrives but A82 catches the ball in B's end zone.


7. PLAY: 2nd/25 A25. A19 is looking for a receiver when B96 grabs and twists his face mask on A's 17. A19 breaks away and then throws a legal forward pass to A86 who advances to A's 45 where he is downed.
