QUIZ #12 Flashcards
A 3/10 @ A-5. A18 is in his own end zone and throws a forward pass which is blocked high into the air. A39
jumps and bats the ball across his end line.
Ruling: A 4/10 @ A5; 40/SNAP; legal forward passes can be batted in any direction by an eligible receiver.
A 2/G @ B-9 with 0:15 remaining in 4Q, no timeouts, and the score tied. A9 runs outside the pocket and fumbles. The ball bounces right back into his hands, and he throws the ball beyond the line of scrimmage and into the stands. 0:10 is remaining when the pass lands.
Ruling: A 3/G @ B-9; 40/SNAP; the player who receives the snap can legally ground the ball by getting outside the pocket and throwing the ball beyond the line of scrimmage.
A 2/12 @ B-18 with 1:50 remaining in 4Q, no timeouts, and the score tied; A31 sweeps around the end with A57 leading the way. B24 takes on A57 at the knees. A31 is tackled inbounds at the B-16.
Ruling: A 1/G @ B-8; 25/CLOCK STARTS AT THE OPTION OF TEAM A; Team B cannot block below the waist outside the tackle box. Because the score is tied and past the 2:00 timeout, the offended team has a
choice to start the clock on the ready for play or the snap.
A 2/10 @ B-45 with 1:21 remaining in 4Q, no timeouts, and the score tied; B99 forcibly contacts A77’s facemask at the line of scrimmage pushing his helmet off. A9 muffs the snap, A77 chases the bouncing ball recovering it on the ground at the B-37.
Ruling: OFFSETTING FOULS; A 2/10 @ B-45; 25/RFP; the fouls for hands to the face and continuing to
participate without a helmet will offset. Team A will not have the option to start the game clock on the
snap.
A 2/10 @ A-45 with 0:09 remaining in 2Q, no timeouts, and the score tied; A19 throws a deep pass. B31 contacts A88 at the B-7 before the ball arrives. A88 makes the catch falling at the B-2. The clock is at 0:00, but video evidence shows A88 down at 0:01.
Ruling: A 1/G @ B-2; RESET THE GAME CLOCK TO 0:01/25/SNAP; replay can restore time because the clock went to 0:00 incorrectly at the end of the half, and Team A does not need a timeout because it will have the option to start the game clock on the snap because of the foul by Team B. Team A will decline the penalty for defensive pass interference.
Second possession, second OT, A 1/10 @ B-25, and the score tied; A snaps the ball with five players in the
backfield. A19 throws an interception to B11 who returns it for a touchdown. Video evidence shows B99 launching and forcibly contacting the head of A19 at the B-35 during the return.
Ruling: B 1/G @ A-18; 25/NO CLOCK; DQ B99; Team A’s foul is declined by rule, Team B’s touchdown is cancelled, and flagrant fouls after a change of possession in extra periods are enforced at the succeeding spot.
A 3/G @ B-4 with 0:57 remaining in 4Q, no timeouts, and the score tied; A33 fumbles at the B-6, and A80
recovers for a TD with 0:50 remaining in 4Q. Video evidence shows the ball glance off B33 with a foot on the
sideline at the B-1 with 0:52 remaining immediately before the recovery by A80.
Ruling: REVIEWABLE; A 4/G @ B-6; 25/RFP/RESET TO 0:52; the touchdown is cancelled. This is a fumble forward and out of bounds. The ball is brought back to the spot of the fumble, the game clock is corrected and starts on the ready for play. There is no ten-second subtraction because the clock
would been properly stopped when the ball went out of bounds.
A 3/9 @ A-40 with 0:55 remaining in 2Q, no timeouts, and the score tied; A19 completes a pass to A87 @ B40 who fumbles @ B-35. B1 makes an immediate grounded recovery with 0:47 on the game clock. Video evidence shows B99 targeted QB A19 right after the pass.
Ruling: REVIEWABLE; A 1/10 @ B-45; DQ B99; 25/CLOCK STARTS AT THE OPTION OF TEAM A; because there
was a change of possession during the down, the targeting penalty will be enforced from the previous spot. Team A will have the option of starting the clock on the snap or ready for play because the play occurred after the 2:00 timeout and the score is tied.
