Runner A10 dives into the pylon at the intersection of the goal line and sidelines and the ball
breaks the plane of the goal line. correct answers RULING: Touchdown. Assuming the pylon
was placed properly, the ball broke the plane of the goal line prior to the touching of the pylon.
8.2.2 SITUATION A:
During (a) A9's run for a touchdown, B2 holds A1, or (b) K1's field goal, R2 holds K1. correct
answers RULING: In (a), A will likely keep the score and may choose to enforce the penalty on
the try or enforce the penalty on the subsequent kickoff. In (b), K may keep the points and have
the penalty enforced from the succeeding spot, or have the penalty enforced from the previous
spot and replay the down. (8-4-3)
8.2.2 SITUATION B:
On the down in which time expired for the second period, Team A:
(a) scores a field goal or(b) scores a touchdown.
In both cases, the opponents of the scoring team commit a live-ball foul. correct answers
RULING: In (a), the offended team has the option to keep the score, with the penalty assessed on
the second half kickoff as this is the succeeding spot. In (b), the offended team has the option to
keep the score, with penalty assessment on either the try or on the second half kickoff as this
would be the subsequent kickoff.
8.2.2 SITUATION C:
During the down in which time expires for hte fourth period, the opponents of Team A foul on a
play where Team A:
(a) scores a touchdown that leaves Team A trailing by one point,(b) scores a field goal which ties
the game, or(c) scores a touchdown that leaves team A trailing by one point and the opponents
also foul on the try. correct answers RULING: In (a), Team A has the option to keep the score,
with the penalty assessed on the try. The penalty cannot be assessed on the first play of overtime
as there is no subsequent kickoff. In (b), Team A has the option to keep the score, with penalty
assessment on the first play of overtime as the first play of overtime is the succeeding spot. In
(c), Team A may only have the penalty for the opponent foul on the scoring play enforced on the
try but cannot carry over the penalty to overtime; however, the foul by the opponent during the
try could be enforced on the first play of overtime at Team A's choice.
*8.2.2 SITUATION D:
A1 scores a touchdown. After the score, B commits a (a) dead-ball, (b) unsportsmanlike or (c)
nonplayer foul prior to the initial ready-for-play on the try. correct answers RULING: In (a), (b)
or (c), Team A may elect to enforce the foul at the succeeding spot or on the subsequent kickoff.
8.2.2 SITUATION E:
Prior to the ball being thrown during a play in which A1 catches a touchdown pass and advances
for a touchdown, B1 holds A2 to prevent him from going out for a pass on the side away from
, the play. When given options, A elects to enforce the penalty for the defensive holding foul on
the subsequent kickoff. During the successful two-point try, B1 is guilty of holding A1. Does A
have the option of having the 10-yard penalty added on to the previous 10-yard penalty on the
subsequent kickoff? correct answers RULING: Yes. The fouls did not occur during the same
down, so these are not multiple fouls and, therefore, they may both be enforced on the
subsequent kickoff. (8-3-5b, 10-2-4)
8.2.2 SITUATION F:
During a touchdown run by A1, B1 holds. During the successful kick try, there is a foul by B2.
correct answers RULING: If A accepts the penalty for B's holding foul, A may accept the score
and attempt the try from the 1½-yard line or accept the score and have the penalty enforced on
the subsequent kickoff. For a foul on the try, A may accept and replay the try from the 3/4-yard
line or accept the 1-point try and enforce the penalty for B's try foul on the subsequent kickoff.
The designated representative of A may choose to have both penalties enforced on the
subsequent kickoff.
8.2.2 SITUATION G:
A1 scores a touchdown. During the scoring play,
(a) A commits an unsportsmanlike foul or(b) B commits an unsportsmanlike foul. correct
answers RULING: In (a) and (b), the touchdown will be scored. The offended team will have the
option to enforce the penalty on the try or carry it to the subsequent kickoff.
8.3.1 SITUATION:
A has a huge lead and scores another touchdown in the third period, and the captain of A informs
the referee that his team does not wish to attempt the try. correct answers RULING: There is no
choice. A shall attempt a try, or at least snap the ball.
8.3.2 SITUATION A:
Following a penalty, the try is from B's 8. A1 advances to B's 4 and fumbles. The fumble rolls
into the end zone where B1 intentionally bats or kicks the ball across the end line. correct
answers RULING: The measurement for the penalty for B1's foul is from B's 4 where A1's run
ended. The new try is from the 2-yard line anywhere between the hash marks. (9-7-1, 9-7-2, 10-
3-2, 10-3-3, 10-4-3)
8.3.2 SITUATION B:
During a try by place-kick, the kick by K1 is blocked by R1 and recovered by K2, who advances
across R's goal line. correct answers RULING: The try is unsuccessful. The try and down ended
when the attempted place kick was blocked and it was obvious the kick would not score. The
covering official should sound his whistle immediately when it is apparent the kick will not
score. (4-2-2i)
8.3.2 SITUATION C:
During a try, A1 completes a pass to A2 in the end zone and: (a) ineligible A3 was illegally
