I have my BJ set the 40 second play clock after the PAT. Then get the teams back on the field. This is not a time out.
Context (part of rule or case): ART 1 To start each half and to resume play after a field goal or after a try, the ball shall be put in play by a kickoff.
Would a tip signal happen in ( A ) or is that only at
at the line of scrimmage? Obviously no dogs or
spectators would be part of the game.
No - the tip signal is only if the tip occurs by the defense - could impact a PI call
Context (part of rule or case): Live ball strikes game official or dog inbounds: A forward pass strikes: (a) a game official standing inbounds, after which it rebounds into the air and is caught by A1 or B1; or (b) a dog or spectator inbounds.
The Umpire on snaps should stay on the ball until the Referee pushes him off on the snap, The BJ on free kicks should make sure the officials are in position then move off the ball to the sideline.
Context (part of rule or case): ART 6 The ball remains dead, and a down is not begun if a snap or free kick is attempted before the ball is marked ready for play, or there is an illegal snap, other snap infraction or a dead-ball foul occurs.
Understood in exceptions 1. , 2. Note: during the muff or fumble the place
kicker with knee off the ground can pass or throw correct?
That is correct. The holder can only play the ball while his knee off the ground.
Know what the holder can and can't do. Need to know the scrimmage kick formation regarding holders. 2-14-2a
Context (part of rule or case): EXCEPTIONS:
1. The ball remains live if, at the snap, a place-kick holder with his knee(s) on the ground and with a teammate in kicking position catches or recovers the snap while his knee(s) is on the ground and places the ball for a kick, or if he rises to advance, hand, kick or pass; or
2. The ball remains live if, at the snap, a place-kick holder with his knee(s) on the ground and with a teammate in kicking position rises and catches or recovers an errant snap and immediately returns his knee(s) to the ground and places the ball for a kick or again rises to advance, hand, kick or pass.
NOTE: The ball becomes dead if the place-kick holder muffs the snap or fumbles and recovers after his knees have been off the ground, and he then touches the ground with other than hand or foot while in possession of the ball.
Simultaneous Catch/Recovery - How do you award possession? By rule it would go to the offense or receiving team.
Context (part of rule or case): When any loose ball: 1. Is simultaneously caught or recovered by opposing players.
IDK if this the correct place. Anyway, I had a toss-up between answers B and C. B was correct but referred to A16. Answer C looked correct and chose an actual penalty for Illegal Procedure. I was hoping to be able to chose both but C won out in my mind.
If the team in last possession elects to put the ball in play where possession was lost the down counts, correct?
Yes, this was answered in the subsequent case
Context (part of rule or case): The team last in possession may choose to either put the ball in play where possession was lost or replay the down if, during a down or during a down in which the penalty for a foul is declined, an inadvertent whistle is sounded while the ball is loose following a backward pass, fumble, illegal forward pass or illegal kick.
Is the foul is enforced from the previous spot because the kick didn't end?
The whistle occurred during a loose ball play.
Context (part of rule or case): Situation E: Foul by R during a kicking down, prior to the inadvertent whistle, foul enforced from previous spot.
Context (part of rule or case): Forward Fumbles Out of Bounds to be Returned to the spot of the Fumble. A situation potentially giving an unfair advantage to a fumbling team was revised. When a forward fumble goes out of bounds or is ruled out of bounds between the goal line, the ball shall be returned to the spot of the fumble.
When an offensive player possesses the ball and no part of his body other than his hand or foot has touched out-of-bounds, is it a standard that if he extends the ball and touches the pylon it is ruled a touchdown?
Yes. It is a TD
Context (part of rule or case): The last portion of 4-3-2 states: "If the ball touches a pylon, it is out of bounds behind the goal line".
If the team requests this the first time. We should check every other time to see where they want the ball placed. If they request it after the ball is placed. Then it is OK the request and move the ball.
Context (part of rule or case): ART. 6 Before the ready-for-play signal, A may designate the spot from which the ball is put in play anywhere between the hash marks:
a. For a try.
c. Following a safety.
d. Following a fair catch.
e. Following an awarded fair catch.
f. Following a touchback.
g. For the start of each series using an overtime procedure.
Remember they can change their minds after these two situations.
Context (part of rule or case): ART 7 When a team may designate the spot along the proper yard line from which the ball is to be put in play, it shall have the same privilege if the down is to be replayed or a dead-ball foul occurs.
Question: The captain can either request the ball to be snapped like a punt or free kick with ball in hand? Art: 5-2-4, 6-5-4. Have anyone seen this happen in a game? No.
Context (part of rule or case): Situation: A1 throws a pass intended for A2. B1 interferes with A2 and the pass is incomplete. Following administration of the penalty, the captain of R decides to put the ball in play by free kick from K's 25 as a field-goal attempt.
