RULE 5 (SERIES OF DOWNS, NUMBER
OF DOWNS, AND TEAM POSSESSION
AFTER PENALTIES) EXAM WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
5.3.4 SITUATION A:
With first and 10 from A's 4-yard line, A1 is tackled and the ball is lying on the 5-inch line
with its long axis parallel to the goal line. How is the ball to be spotted? - CORRECT
ANSWERS-RULING: The referee will, by rule, rotate and place the ball so that its rear
point is not penetrating the plane of A's goal line. The ball is rotated with its rearmost
point moved forward just enough so it isn't touching the goal line. A gains a few inches
in the process.
5.3.4 SITUATION B:
A1 receives the snap behind his own goal line. A1 advances, but is tackled and the ball
becomes dead with its foremost point in the field of play, but part of the ball is in the end
zone. - CORRECT ANSWERS-RULING: Safety. To avoid a safety, the ball must be
advanced completely out of the end zone with no part of it touching the goal line. (8-5-2)
5.1.1 SITUATION A:
What procedure is used to correct an error if it is discovered: (a) a fifth down has been
run and the discovery is prior to the ball becoming live after a new series of downs is
awarded and prior to the declaration of the end of any period; or (b) A has not been
given its allotted four downs and the discovery is prior to the ball becoming live after a
new series of downs is awarded and prior to the declaration of the end of any period? -
CORRECT ANSWERS-RULING: In both cases, the number of the next down can be
corrected by the referee. In (a), play will revert to where it was before the fifth down was
run after the enforcement of any personal, dead ball or unsportsmanlike fouls that
occurred during the down. In (b), the referee can declare the proper next down and
resume play.
5.1.1 SITUATION B:
Second down and six. On the last play of the third period, A38 gains three yards. After
the play, the down-marker indicator is flipped to fourth down. Following a brief pause to
ensure no reason to defer ending the period, the referee holds the ball over his head to
signify the end of the period. Both teams change ends of the field and the chains are
reversed. Before the ball is snapped for the first play of the fourth period, Team A's
, coach notifies the game officials that he believes there is an error in the down. -
CORRECT ANSWERS-RULING: The third period officially ended when the referee held
the ball over his head, and therefore the down error may not be corrected.
5.1.1 SITUATION C:
During a fifth-down play, Team A is flagged for: (a) illegal formation; (b) holding; (c)
twisting the face mask; (d) taunting; or (e) fighting. - CORRECT ANSWERS-RULING:
The penalties are not enforced in (a) or (b). In (c), (d) and (e), the penalty is enforced as
a dead-ball foul before Team B snaps the ball. In (e), the offending player is also
disqualified.
5.1.1 SITUATION D:
The ball is on the 50-yard line with 10 yards to go for a first down. The down-marker
indicator erroneously indicates fourth down when Team K punts on what is actually: (a)
third down or (b) fifth down. R6 returns the punt for an apparent touchdown. Prior to the
try and without the period ending, it is brought to the attention of the game officials that
the down-marker indicator was in error. - CORRECT ANSWERS-RULING: In (a), the
score is cancelled and the ball is returned to the 50-yard line, third down and 10 for A as
Team A. In (b), the fifth down was run in error, the score is cancelled and the ball is
returned to the 50-yard line, first down and 10 for R.
5.1.1 SITUATION E:
Erroneously, the chains are set before enforcement of a dead-ball foul instead of
following enforcement. Up to what point can this be corrected? - CORRECT
ANSWERS-RULING: Until the ball is legally snapped. After that point, it is too late.
5.1.2 SITUATION A:
Following the ready-for-play signal for a new series by A: (a) B1 encroaches, or (b) A1
false starts. - CORRECT ANSWERS-RULING: In (a), it is first and 5 and in (b) it is first
and 15 for A.
5.1.2 SITUATION B:
During A1's run for a first down to B's 20-yard line, B12 commits a nonplayer foul for a
substitute entering the field during the down, but not participating. Immediately following
the down, A1 taunts an opponent. - CORRECT ANSWERS-RULING: If accepted, the
penalty for B entering during the down is enforced from the succeeding spot. After the
decision on this penalty, A will be penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct and
A will have the ball for a new series, first and 10. (3-7-6, 9-5-1a)
5.1.2 SITUATION C:
Third and 10 for A from B's 40-yard line. A1 gains 10 yards and is downed on B's 30. A2
taunts B1 during the run. - CORRECT ANSWERS-RULING: Since the live-ball action
gave A a new series, the line to gain shall be established after A is penalized for A2's
unsportsmanlike act. It will be first and 10 for A from B's 45-yard line.
5.1.2 SITUATION D:
