2. RULING: A f/k A35. No score. The try ends. The penalty for the illegal forward pass is declined by rule. The ruling would be a one-point safety if the pass was incomplete since the ball is returned to the spot of the pass and the impetus was provided by B44. If B97 was downed in B's end zone after receiving the pass, the result of the play is also a one-point safety.
3. RULING: A retry B’s 1-1/2. The foul is illegal kicking a loose ball, not an illegal kick. Team B fouled before a change of team possession. The basic enforcement spot is the previous spot, B’s 3. Before the ready for play, Team A may request that the ball be placed on B’s 3. B’s 3 is on or behind B’s 1-1/2. Since Team A did not foul during the down, Team A may also request a different lateral placement of the ball before the ready for play.
4. RULING: B 1/10 A14. Team B will decline offsetting fouls. Team A will then accept the penalty for B66's foul. The 10-yard penalty will be enforced from the end of B97's run, B's 4. NOTE: If Team B was behind by three points, for example, and time expired in the fourth quarter during the down, Team B would
really have to accept offsetting fouls. If they decline offsetting fouls, Team A will then decline the penalty for B66's foul and the game will be over.
5. RULING: A 1/10 B11. The ball is placed at the left hash mark. B47 commits both defensive pass interference and a personal foul. It is more advantageous for Team A to accept the penalty for the pass interference. The 15-yard penalty is enforced from the previous spot with no half the distance provision. If Team A accepted the penalty for the personal foul, it would be A 1/10 B13. There is no need to consult the captains. If the foul occurred on B’s 16, it would be more advantageous for Team A to accept the penalty for the personal foul. It would be A 1/10 B13 as opposed to A 1/10 B16.
6. RULING: Safety. B f/k B20. The score is A23-B24. Team B has the first option and may accept offsetting fouls or may decline offsetting fouls. It is more likely that, in this play, Team B will decline offsetting fouls. Team A now has the option and will accept the penalty for B55's foul and that results in a safety. If Team B accepted offsetting fouls, it would be A 1/10 B15 with the clock starting on the ready.
7. RULING: A 4/7 B33. Team A is in legal possession of the ball when the down ends so postscrimmage kick enforcement does not apply. Team A will accept the 10-yard penalty enforced from the previous spot. If Team A declines the penalty, Team B will take the ball at the spot of illegal touching and it will be B 1/10 B20. If B44 did not touch the ball, enforcement of the penalty results in B 1/10 B10.
