Scoring

Question 1

TOUCHDOWN—CONTROL IN AIR IN END ZONE AND DRIVEN BACK INTO FIELD OF PLAY
First-and-goal on B8. Tight end A2 goes into the end zone and leaps to catch a pass from A1. While he is airborne
in the end zone, A2 controls the ball and is driven back to the 1-yard line by B2, where A2 lands on both feet, and
not sure if he had scored, breaks free from B2, runs and it tackled at the 1- yard line.

Answer 1

Ruling: Touchdown Team A. Kickoff A35. Once A2 comes down and completes the catch, the play is over, and he
is given his forward progress.

Question 2

TOUCHDOWN—BATTED PASS IN END ZONE
Third-and-3 on B16. A1 throws a forward pass to end A2 along the end line. A2 bats the ball toward end A3 who
catches it in the end zone.

Answer 2

Ruling: Touchdown Team A. Kickoff A35. A forward pass can be batted in any direction by either team in the end
zone. (12-5-1)

Question 3

TOUCHDOWN—TEAM A BATS BALL INTO OWN END ZONE
Fourth-and-12 on A14. The punt is partially blocked, and the ball rolls to the A4 where A2 bats it toward his goal and
B1 falls on it in the end zone.

Answer 3

Ruling: Touchdown Team B. Kickoff B35. No foul.

Question 4

TOUCHDOWN—LAST PLAY OF GAME
First-and-10 on B20. Team A trails 21-17 with :03 seconds left in the game. QB A1 throws a pass to A3 in the end
zone who catches it for a touchdown.

Answer 4

Ruling: Game over Team A wins 23-21. There is no option to attempt the Try.

Question 5

TRY-KICK ATTEMPT— BLOCKED—SUCCESSFUL CONVERSION BY TEAM B
On a Try attempt from the 15-yard line, the kick is blocked and returned by B2 across Team A’s goal line.

Answer 5

Ruling: Two points for Team B, Team A kicks off from A35. The Try is not over when Team B gains possession of
the ball. Any time either team scores what would normally be a touchdown during a Try, it is worth two points.

Question 6

TWO-POINT TRY ATTEMPT—SUCCESSFUL AFTER CHANGE OF POSSESSION
On a Try attempt from the 2-yard line, QBA1’s pass is intercepted by B2 in Team B’s end zone. B2 attempts to run
it out, but is hit and fumbles, with A4 recovering the ball in the end zone.

Answer 6

Ruling: Two points for Team A. Team A kicks off from A35. The Try is not over when Team B gains possession.

Question 7

TRY-KICK ATTEMPT—TOUCHING BY TEAM A
On a Try attempt from the 15-yard line, the kick is blocked and rolls to the B10-yard line, where A2 touches the ball
while attempting to recover it, and muffs it into the end zone, where it is touched by B2 and then recovered by A3.

Answer 7

Ruling: Try no good, KO A35. A Try-kick is a scrimmage down, so rules for scrimmage kicks apply to a Try-kick.
A2’s first touching violation nullifies the recovery by A3 in the end zone

Question 8

TWO-POINT TRY ATTEMPT—SUCCESSFUL AFTER CHANGE OF POSSESSION—TEAM A FOUL
On a Try attempt from the 2-yard line, A1 runs and fumbles the ball at the line of scrimmage. B1 recovers the loose
ball and during his run A2 grabs and twists B1’s facemask, causing B1 to fumble the ball. A3 picks up the loose ball
and runs for a touchdown.

Answer 8

Ruling: Try no good, KO A35. When Team A commits a foul prior to a last change of possession, its foul is enforced
as customary. Enforcement of A2’s foul would negate the touchdown, so the Try is unsuccessful. Because Team
A’s foul negates a successful Try, the distance penalty is not enforced on the kickoff.

Question 9

TRY-KICK ATTEMPT—SUCCESSFUL—TEAM B FOUL
On a Try attempt from the 15-yard line, the kick is good. B2 is offside.

Answer 9

Ruling: One-point Try successful, kickoff A40; or re-Try at the B1 (run or pass), kickoff A35. All Team B fouls on a
Try that do not result in a re-Try, negate a score, or offset with a Team A foul, are enforced on the ensuing kickoff.

Question 10

TRY KICK ATTEMPT – 2 YARD LINE
On a Try attempt from the B2, A lines up in an offensive formation and then shifts into a Try-kick formation. A1’s Try
kick goes through the uprights.

Answer 10

Ruling: Unsuccessful Try. The ball must be snapped at the B15 for a Try kick.

Question 11

TRY—FOUL BY THE DEFENSE
On a 2-point Try, the ball is originally spotted on the right hash mark at the B2. A1 hands off to A2 who goes wide
left around the left hashmark and is tackled on the B1 by the facemask.

Answer 11

Ruling: Re-Try by kick at the B7½ or run/pass B1-yard line, anywhere between the hash marks.

Note: The enforcement of all single fouls on a re-Try, other than defensive pass interference, is from the previous
spot, or the “other spot.”

Question 12

TRY-KICK ATTEMPT—MUFF/FUMBLE—TEAM B KICKS BALL INTO OWN END ZONE
On a Try from the B15, holder A2 muffs a poor snap, and the ball rolls to the B17. Kicker A1 recovers and runs to
the B4, where he fumbles to the B3. A3 reaches down to pick up the ball and B3 deliberately kicks it away from him.
The ball (a) hits the pylon; or (b) goes out of bounds at the B2.

Answer 12

Rulings:

(a) Option for Team A: Re-Try from B1 (run or pass); or one-point safety awarded to Team A. Kickoff A45. The
result of the play is a safety, so if that option is elected, the Team B foul is enforced on the kickoff, because it is
a B foul during a Try that is not used for a re-Try, to negate a score, or as part of a double foul. If A3 had
recovered the ball at the B3, the play would have been blown dead, since he was not the fumbling player.

(b) Option for Team A: Re-Try from B 7 ½ (kick); or re-Try from B1 (run or pass); or decline the option to re-Try and
enforce the penalty on the kickoff, A45. If choosing to re-Try from the same spot, the penalty is enforced half
the distance from the previous spot, unless the foul is defensive pass interference. If choosing to re-Try from
the ‘other spot’, the penalty is always half the distance.

Question 13

TWO-POINT TRY ATTEMPT—DEFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE
On a Try attempt from the 2-yard line, B3 interferes with eligible receiver A3 in the end zone, and (a) B3 intercepts
the pass intended for A3 and falls to the ground; (b) A3 catches the ball in the end zone despite the interference; or
(c) B3 pulls down the receiver by the facemask before the pass arrives; the pass is incomplete.

Answer 13

TWO-POINT TRY ATTEMPT—DEFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE
On a Try attempt from the 2-yard line, B3 interferes with eligible receiver A3 in the end zone, and (a) B3 intercepts
the pass intended for A3 and falls to the ground; (b) A3 catches the ball in the end zone despite the interference; or
(c) B3 pulls down the receiver by the facemask before the pass arrives; the pass is incomplete.

Note: Any time defensive pass interference is enforced from the ‘other spot’, the penalty is half the distance to the
goal, regardless of where the foul occurred. Just as with normal pass plays, if the defensive pass interference is also
a personal foul, both fouls are enforced. However, they cannot be separated to enforce one on the re-Try and one
on the kickoff.

Question 14

TRY-KICK ATTEMPT - UNSUCCESSFUL TRY—DEFENSE FOULS
Near the end of the game, Team A scores and trails 21-16. On the kick-Try from the B15, the kick is no good and
(a) B3 lines up offside or (b) B2 forearms the center to the head just after the snap.

Answer 14

Rulings:
(a) Re-Try (anywhere between the hash marks) from the B10 for a kick attempt; or go for 2-points from the B1; or
decline the re-Try and enforce the 5-yard penalty on the kickoff and kick from the A40.
(b) Re-Try (anywhere between the hash marks) from the B 7½ for a kick attempt; or go for 2-points from the B1; or
decline the re-Try and enforce the 15-yard penalty on the kickoff and kick from the 50. (11-1-3-Item 4(a)).

Question 15

LIVE BALL AND DEAD BALL TEAM B FOULS ON THE TRY
On a kick-Try from the B15, B1 is offside at the snap. The kick is missed, and B2 then shoves A2, knocking him to
the ground.

Answer 15

Ruling: Re-Try from B10 (kick); or re-Try B1 (2-point) – enforcing the offside penalty and declining the personal foul.
Or Team A can decline the opportunity to re-Try and enforce B2’s personal foul on the kickoff – Kickoff 50. Only one of the Team B multiple fouls can be accepted, and if the live ball foul is declined, the Try is over, and the personal
foul can only be enforced on the kickoff.

Question 16

UNSUCCESSFUL TRY – OFFENSIVE FOUL
On a Try attempt from the B2, A1 runs and fumbles the ball at the line of scrimmage. At the snap, A2 grabs and pulls
B2’s facemask prior to the fumble. B1 recovers the loose ball, runs, and fumbles the ball at the B20. A2 picks up the
loose ball, runs, and is tackled at the B1.

Answer 16

Ruling: Unsuccessful Try. Kickoff A20. The facemask foul can be enforced on the kickoff because it was not used
to negate a score or offset another foul.

Question 17

TRY-KICK ATTEMPT—5 VS. 15
During a successful or unsuccessful Kick-Try from the B15, B2 is called for leverage. A1 was illegally in motion at
the snap.

Answer 17

Ruling: Re-Try at B7½ (kick) or B1 (run or pass) (A’s option). This is a 5 vs. 15, as there was no change of
possession. There is no option for Team A to decline the re-Try and enforce the yardage on the ensuing kickoff,
because the fouls are “used” as a part of the double foul enforcement. When fouls by both teams occur during a Try
down with no change of possession, the down must be replayed. The only exception to this would be a clean hands
score (11-3-3-item 5).

Question 18

BEFORE SNAP FOR TRY-KICK ATTEMPT—5 VS. 15
Before the ball is snapped on a Try from the B15, A5 false starts, and B2 comes across the line and knocks A6 to
the ground. Unnecessary roughness is called on B2.

Answer 18

Ruling: Re-Try at B1 (run or pass) or B7½ (kick), kickoff at A35; or Re-Try at B15 (kick) or B2 (run or pass), kickoff
at 50. (A’s option). This is a pre-snap 5 vs. 15 with the major foul on Team B. Since the dead ball fouls prevented
the snap, Team A can either enforce the major foul on the Try or enforce it on the kickoff. (14-5-1-Exc. 3)

Note: If the major foul of a pre-snap 5 vs. 15 is on Team A, there is no option for Team B to enforce the penalty
yardage on the kickoff. Pre-snap fouls by Team A (after the ready for play), must be enforced on the succeeding Try
down.

Question 19

TRY-KICK ATTEMPT—5 VS. 15—CLEAN HANDS SCORE
During a successful Try from the B15, B2 is offside, and after the ball is dead, A2 is called for unnecessary roughness.

Answer 19

Ruling: The Kick-Try is good. Kickoff A20. This is a clean hands score, so the score counts, and the foul against A2
is enforced on the kickoff. (14-4-9-Item 3-Exc. 2)

Question 20

DROP KICK TRY ATTEMPT—SUCCESSFUL—TEAM B COVERS THE CENTER
On a Try attempt from the 15-yard line, holder A2 is on a knee 8 yards behind the center, and kicker A1 is lined up
behind the holder. The ball is snapped directly to the kicker, and he drop kicks the ball between the uprights. B3 was
covering the center at the snap.

Answer 20

Ruling: One-point Try successful, kickoff A40; or re-Try at the B1 (run or pass), kickoff A35. The restriction for Team
B players covering the center applies on drop kicks, if there is a normal kicking formation with a holder in place prior
to the snap. All Team B fouls on a Try that do not result in a re-Try, offset with a Team A foul, or negate a score, are
enforced on the ensuing kickoff.

Note: The restriction on covering the center keys off the formation, not what ultimately happens on the play

Question 21

TWO-POINT TRY ATTEMPT—FOUL BY TEAM A WITH A CHANGE OF POSSESSION
On a Try attempt from the 2-yard line, QBA1’s pass is intercepted by B4 in the end zone. B4 returns the ball to the
50. During the Try: (a) Tackle A7 was not on the line of scrimmage at the snap; (b) Center A6 and Back A2 chop
blocked B7 prior to the interception; or (c) A5 tripped B4 during the return.

Answer 21

Rulings:
(a) Try no good, KO A35. Only personal or unsportsmanlike conduct fouls by Team A prior to a change of
possession will carry over to the kickoff.
(b) Try no good, KO A20. The chop block foul is enforced on the kickoff because it is a personal foul.
(c) Try no good, KO A25. All Team A fouls after a change of possession, that are not part of a double or multiple
foul, will carry over to the kickoff.

Question 22

TWO-POINT TRY ATTEMPT—FOUL BY TEAM B WITH A CHANGE OF POSSESSION
On a Try attempt from the 2-yard line, QBA1’s pass is intercepted by B4 in the end zone. B4 returns the ball to the
50. During the Try: (a) B5 held receiver A2 prior to the pass; (b) B6 blocked A7 low at the B35 during B4’s run; or (c)
B2 held A8 at the B35 during B4’s run.

Answer 22

Rulings:
(a) Re-Try B1 (run or pass) or B10 (kick).
(b) Try attempt fails, KO 50.
(c) Try attempt fails, KO A45.

Note: All Team B fouls during a Try that do not result in a re-Try, negate a score by Team B, or offset with a Team A foul will be enforced on the ensuing kickoff.

Question 23

TWO-POINT TRY ATTEMPT—FOULS BY BOTH TEAMS WITH A CHANGE OF POSSESSION
On a Try attempt from the 2-yard line, QBA1’s pass is intercepted by B4 in the end zone. B4 returns the ball to the
50. During the Try: (a) B5 held receiver A2 prior to the pass and A5 blocked B3 low at the B35 during B4’s run; or
(b) Tackle A7 was not on the line of scrimmage at the snap and B6 blocked A7 low at the B35 during B4’s run; or (c)
during B4’s run, B2 held A8 at the B35 and A1 blocked B9 low at the B30 during B4’s run.

Answer 23

Rulings:
(a) Re-Try B2 (run or pass) or B15 (kick). If Team B fouls prior to the initial change of possession, the Try is
replayed, regardless of subsequent fouls by either team. In this case, the fouls offset at either Try spot.
(b) Try no good, KO A35. This is not a 5 vs. 15 as there was a change of possession and neither foul is enforced
on the kickoff.
(c) Try no good, KO A35. Since both teams fouled after the change of possession, the fouls offset and are not
enforced on the kickoff.

Note: If there is a double foul on a Try, no Team B fouls will be carried over to the kickoff if they are used up to
create a re-Try, to negate a score by Team B, or offset with a Team A foul.

Question 24

TWO-POINT TRY ATTEMPT—A FOULS ON SUCCESSFUL TRY—B FOULS ON RE-TRY
On a 2-point Try from the B2, runner A3 scores, but tackle A8 is called for holding. Team A elects to have the 10-
yard penalty enforced from the B15 and attempt a kick-Try from the B25. Before the snap for the kick, B3 encroaches.

Answer 24

Ruling: Re-Try B20 (kick), kickoff A35; re-Try B7 (run or pass), kickoff A35; re-Try B25 (kick), kickoff A40; or re-Try
B12 (run or pass) kickoff A40, Team A always has the option to enforce a Team B foul on the kickoff, or from the
previous spot or the other Try spot, the location of which is determined by any previously enforced penalty, if
applicable. Team A, after enforcement, can also choose where the ball is spotted between the hash marks.

Question 25

TRY-KICK ATTEMPT—PASS INTERFERENCE AND FACEMASK
On a kick Try from the B15, holder A2 muffs the snap at the B23, and kicker A1 recovers at the B25 where he throws
a forward pass to eligible receiver A4, who is grabbed and pulled down by the facemask before the ball arrives at
the B4. The pass falls incomplete.

Answer 25

Ruling: Re-Try B2 (kick) or Re-Try B½ (run/pass). If Team A chooses to again attempt a 1-point kick Try, the pass
interference is a spot foul putting the ball at the B4, plus half the distance to the B2 because the pass interference is
also a personal foul. If Team A chooses to Try from the “other spot: (run/pass), the enforcement is half the distance
to the goal line from the B2, and half the distance again as a result of the personal foul on the pass interference.

Note: Team A could also choose to decline the re-Try and enforce the personal foul on the kickoff, but they cannot “split” the personal foul and pass interference and enforce one on the Try and one on the kickoff.

Question 26

SAFETY—ENTIRE BALL NOT OUT OF END ZONE
Second-and-10 on A2. Runner A1 is tackled in his end zone with part of the ball on the goal line and part in the field
of play.

Answer 26

Ruling: Safety. Safety kick A20. The entire ball must be out of the end zone.

Question 27

BLOCKED PUNT—TEAM A BATS BALL
Fourth-and-12 on A14. A’s punt is blocked and the ball rolls to the A4 where A2 bats the ball (a) toward his goal,
where A3 falls on the ball in the end zone; or (b) forward where A3 falls on the ball at the A10

Answer 27

Rulings:
(a) Safety. Safety kick A20. This is a legal bat, and the result of the play is a safety.
(b) B’s ball, first-and-goal on A5. Illegal bat. B can choose to enforce the foul from the dead ball spot due to A’s foul
during a scrimmage kick (resulting in B’s ball at the A5); enforce the foul from the previous spot with a loss of
down (resulting in B’s ball at the A7); or decline the foul and accept the result of the play (resulting in B’s ball at
the A10).

Question 28

FUMBLE IN TEAM B END ZONE—FOUL IN FIELD OF PLAY—TEAM A’S IMPETUS
Third-and-6 on B22. B2 intercepts a pass in the end zone, and while running in the end zone, fumbles the ball which
rolls to the B3. B4 then bats the loose ball forward to the B7-yard line where B5 recovers.

Answer 28

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B1½.

Note: Since Team A’s impetus put the ball in the end zone, the B20 is considered the spot of the fumble. The Team
B foul is therefore enforced from the spot of the foul, because it’s behind the spot of the fumble. If Team B’s impetus
had put the ball in the end zone, the spot of the fumble would be in the end zone, so the result would be a safety.

Question 29

SAFETY—PERSONAL FOUL ON PLAY
On a kickoff from the A35, B2 catches the ball in the end zone and runs to the B4. B2 then fumbles the ball at the
B4, and it rolls into the pylon on the goal line. During the fumble, B5 pulled A2 down by the facemask at the B2.

Answer 29

Ruling: Safety. Safety kick B10. The result of the play is a safety, so the personal foul is enforced on the safety kick
regardless of where the foul occurred (see 14-4-4).

Question 30

SAFETY—B COMMITS PERSONAL FOUL AND BATS BALL INTO TEAM B END ZONE
Fourth-and-6 on A45. A’s punt is at the B5 when B3 bats the ball backward over the end line, creating new impetus.
Immediately after the snap, B3 head slaps A2 on the line of scrimmage.

Answer 30

Ruling: Safety. Safety kick B10. A bat (legal or illegal) creates a new impetus, so the result of the play is a safety,
and the personal foul carries over to the safety kick.

Note: If the foul is committed in an effort to block the kick, it is not a post possession foul, so there is also an option
to enforce the foul from the previous spot with an automatic first down, although Team A would likely choose the
points and have Team B safety kick from the B10.

Question 31

MOMENTUM—ILLEGAL FORWARD PASS—SAFETY
Third-and-goal on B6. A1 throws to A3 in the end zone near the goal line. B2 intercepts at the B1-yard line with one
foot at the B1-yard line and the other on the B½-yard line. His momentum carries him into the end zone where he
attempts a backward pass which goes forward. A3 muffs the pass at the B½-yard line, and it falls incomplete.

Answer 31

Ruling: Safety. Safety kick B20. Although B2’s momentum took him into his end zone, his foul for an illegal forward
pass in the end zone creates a safety.

Question 32

SAFETY—NOT MOMENTUM EXCEPTION – FOUL AGAINST AN OFFICIAL
Third-and 25 on B40. The score is tied 21-21 at the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter. On a long pass thrown
toward the goal line, B2 dives in front of receiver A2 and intercepts the ball at the B4. He slides untouched to a stop
on the B1, gets to his feet, and to avoid tackler A3, loops into the end zone where he is tackled by A4. The Field
Judge signals safety. B2 is infuriated by the ruling and slams the ball at the officials’ feet.

Answer 32

Ruling: Safety. Safety kick B10. B2’s momentum did not take him into the end zone. A second unsportsmanlike
conduct foul of this category would lead to disqualification.

Question 33

PUNT—TEAM A FOULS IN OWN END ZONE—OPTIONS FOR TEAM B
Fourth-and-9 on A2. Prior to A1 punting the ball from the end zone, A3 holds B2 on a block initiated in the end zone.
The punt is then shanked out of bounds at the A16.

Answer 33

Ruling: Safety, safety kick A20. There is no option to enforce from the dead-ball spot unless it is a personal foul or
unsportsmanlike conduct foul.

Question 34

NO SAFETY—MOMENTUM EXCEPTION
Fourth-and-6 on B45. On the last play of the first half, B1 catches a punt on the B2-yard line and the momentum of
the kick forces him back into the end zone. B1 is then tackled by A2 in the end zone.

Answer 34

Ruling: Half over. The ball would be spotted on the B2-yard line because of the momentum exception; however,
time expired on the play.

Question 35

SAFETY KICK—OUT OF BOUNDS—POTENTIAL EXTENSION OF PERIOD
Third-and-8 on A5. Quarterback A1 is sacked in his own end zone. On the ensuing safety kick, A3 punts the ball out
of bounds at the B30.

Answer 35

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on 50. The penalty for a safety kick kicked out of bounds is 30 yards from the spot of
the kick, or the out-of-bounds spot. If the safety occurred due to a foul by Team A in their own end zone, with no
time left in the game, Team B would have the option to extend for an untimed down. If a free kick (including a safety
kick) on the last play of a period or the extension of a period, goes out of bounds (untouched or last touched by
Team A), Team B has the option to extend for an additional play from scrimmage.

Question 36

MOMENTUM EXCEPTION—FUMBLE IN END ZONE
Third-and-6 on B23. A1 throws a pass toward A2 near the goal line. B1 intercepts the ball on the B3-yard line. His
momentum carries him into the end zone where he fumbles the ball while being tackled, and: (a) B3 recovers and is
downed in the end zone; (b) A3 recovers in the end zone; (c) the ball goes over the end line; or (d) the ball rolls out
of bounds at the B4.

Answer 36

Rulings:
(a) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B3. Momentum exception. The ball is dead in the end zone in B’s possession.
(b) Touchdown Team A. Kickoff A35. There is no momentum exception, because the ball was not dead in the end
zone in B’s possession.
(c) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B3. Momentum exception. The ball is dead in the end zone in Team B’s possession.
(d) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B3. Momentum exception. The fumble forward out of bounds returns to the spot of the
fumble, and the ball is then dead in the end zone in Team B’s possession.

Question 37

MOMENTUM EXCEPTION—TEAM B FOUL DURING FUMBLE IN END ZONE
Second-and-10 on B20. B1 intercepts A1’s pass on the B6, and his momentum takes him into the end zone. While
B1 is running in the end zone, he fumbles the ball and it rolls into the field of play where (a) it is recovered by B2 at
the B4; or (b) it rolls out of bounds at the B6. During the loose ball, B3 grabs and twists A2’s facemask at the B5.

Answer 37

Rulings:
(a) Safety. Safety kick A20. Momentum does not apply because the ball was not declared dead in the end zone in
Team B’s possession. This is a foul during a fumble, and the spot of the fumble (the Basic Spot) is in Team B’s
end zone, so enforcement results in a safety.
(b) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B2½. The fumble forward out of bounds, returns the ball to the spot of the fumble in the
end zone. The ball is therefore dead in B’s possession in the end zone, thus giving B the ball at that spot of
interception momentum (B6). B’s foul is enforced from the spot of the foul, which is behind the momentum spot.

Question 38

MOMENTUM EXCEPTION—FOUL IN FIELD OF PLAY
First-and-10 on B16. B1 intercepts a pass at the B6, and his momentum carries him into the end zone. While still in
the end zone, B1 throws a backward pass to B2, which goes over the end line. During B1’s run in the end zone, B4
tripped A3 at the B8.

Answer 38

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B3. Since the ball is dead in Team B’s possession in the end zone, the dead ball
spot is the momentum spot - the B6. The tripping foul is therefore enforced from the B6, (the dead ball spot), rather
than the spot of the foul - the B8.

Question 39

MOMENTUM—ILLEGAL FORWARD PASS TEAM B IN OWN END ZONE—INTERCEPTION TEAM A
First-and-10 on B16. B1 intercepts a pass or recovers a fumble or backward pass by A1 at the B6, and his momentum
carries him into the end zone. B1 tries to run the ball out, sees that he will be tackled, and throws an illegal forward
pass to B2 which is intercepted by A3 at the B2-yard line and carried into the end zone.

Answer 39

Ruling: Touchdown Team A. Kickoff A35. Decline the foul for illegal forward pass because enforcement would result
in a safety.

Question 40

MOMENTUM—FUMBLE RECOVERY
On a kickoff from the A35, B2 returns the ball to the A15-yard line where the ball is punched out of his hands from
behind by A1. The ball is scooped up by A1 on the run at the A6, and his momentum carries him forward into his
end zone, where (a) A1 is tackled; or (b) A1 fumbles the ball and B2 recovers it in A’s end zone.

Answer 40

Rulings:
(a) A’s ball, first-and-10 on A6. Team A was the defensive team when A1 recovered B2’s fumble, so the momentum
exception applies.
(b) Touchdown Team B. Kickoff B35. The ball was not dead in the end zone in A’s possession; therefore, there is
no momentum exception.

Note: Momentum only applies to the team that has just gained possession after a change of possession. In this
case, it would be Team A after recovery of a fumble by Team B. Momentum does not apply to a team regaining
possession of their own fumble, pass or kick.

Question 41

NOT MOMENTUM—PROGRESS STOPPED
Third-and-6 on B16. A1 throws a pass toward A3 in the end zone. B2 intercepts the ball with both feet down at the
B1-yard line and is driven back into the end zone by A6. B2 fumbles over the end line as he is tackled by A6.

Answer 41

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B1. Forward progress at the B1-yard line. For the momentum exception to apply,
B2’s own momentum must cause him to go into the end zone.`

Question 42

NOT MOMENTUM—BALL NOT DEAD IN THE END ZONE—FORWARD PROGRESS
First-and-10 on B16. B1 recovers a fumble by A1 at the B6, and his momentum causes him to slide feet first into the
end zone where he is touched down by A2. Both of B1’s feet are in the end zone, but the ball is at the B½.

Answer 42

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B½. The ball must get into the end zone for the momentum exception to apply. In
this case, B1’s forward progress is deemed stopped at the B½.

Question 43

MOMENTUM—PASS INTERCEPTED AT GOAL LINE
First-and-10 on B25. A1 throws a pass to end A2 at the B2. B1 intercepts while airborne, and his first foot hits at the
B1, then (a) his second foot lands on the goal line with the ball in the field of play at the B½-yard line; (b) his second
foot hits at the ½-yard line with the ball over the goal line; or (c) both feet land in the field of play with the ball at the
½-yard line. B continues into the end zone where he is tackled.

Answer 43

Rulings:
(a) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B20. Touchback, as the second foot landed in the end zone.
(b) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B1. Momentum exception. The key is where the feet are when the pass is intercepted,
not the position of the ball in relation to the goal line.
(c) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B1. Momentum exception, as both feet landed in the field of play. The ball is never
spotted inside the one-yard line on a momentum exception play.

Question 44

MOMENTUM—MUFFED PUNT—DEAD BALL FOUL
Fourth-and-5 on B45. B2 attempts to catch a punt at the B5 but muffs the ball, and it rolls to the B2. B3 recovers at
the B2, and his momentum carries him into the end zone, where he is tackled. After the play, B5 taunts A4.

Answer 44

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on the B1. Enforce the taunting from the momentum spot, as that is the succeeding
spot. Since the punt was muffed, it is still considered a kick and momentum applies. B5 is charged with his first
unsportsmanlike conduct foul that would count toward disqualification

Question 45

MOMENTUM—FOUL IN END ZONE DURING RUN
Fourth-and-10 on 50. B1 fields the punted ball on the B5, and his momentum takes him into the end zone, where he
runs to the other side of the end zone in an effort to run the ball out, but he is tackled in the end zone (or the field of
play). During the run, B2 blocks A2 in the back, in the end zone.

Answer 45

Ruling: Safety B. KO B20. If a team runs with the ball and fouls in its end zone, enforcement of the foul results in a
safety.

Question 46

MOMENTUM—FOUL IN END ZONE DURING RUN
Third-and-10 on B40. A1’s pass is intercepted by B1 at the B5, and his momentum carries him into the end zone
where he falls to the ground and is touched down. While B1’s momentum was taking him into the end zone, B3
blocked A3 low in the end zone.

Answer 46

Ruling: Safety. Safety kick B20. Even though his momentum takes him into the end zone, Team B fouled in its own
end zone during the run which results in a safety. It would also be a safety if B1 was downed in the field of play. (14-
4-4)

Question 47

NOT MOMENTUM—FUMBLE IN END ZONE—BALL DECLARED DEAD IN FIELD OF PLAY
Third-and-10 on B40. A1’s pass is intercepted by B1 at the B6, and his momentum carries him into the end zone
where he scrambles to try and run it out. While he is running in the end zone, B1 fumbles, and the ball rolls out to
the B5 where it is recovered by B1. During the fumble, while the ball was rolling in the field of play, B2 holds A2: (a)
at the B4; or (b) in the end zone.

Answer 47

Rulings:
(a) Safety. Safety kick B20. Momentum does not apply because the ball was not declared dead in the end zone in
Team B’s possession.
(b) Safety. Safety kick B20.

Question 48

MISSED FIELD GOAL—DOWNED OR ADVANCED BY TEAM A
Fourth-and-4 on B36. Team A’s field-goal attempt from the B44 is partially blocked, and the ball (a) bounces in the
end zone and rolls over the end line; (b) hits on the B33 and then bounces to the B37 where Team A recovers and
downs it; or (c) hits on the B33 and then bounces back to the B37 where A2 recovers the ball and advances to the
B34.

Answer 48

Rulings:
(a) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B44.
(b) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B37.
(c) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B34.

Note: If the kick ends behind the line of scrimmage, the option to return to the spot of the kick (or 20) is lost. This
includes a play in which the kick has been beyond the line and returns behind it, regardless of whether it was or was
not touched beyond the line.

Question 49

MISSED FIELD GOAL—TEAM A FOUL
Fourth-and-10 on B24. A1 attempts a field goal from the B32 which is partially blocked and is rolling on the ground
at the B8, when it is touched there by B2. It is then recovered by A3 at the B3. During the field-goal attempt, A3
stepped on the sideline at the B15 to avoid B7’s block (no contact by B) before recovering the ball.

Answer 49

Ruling: Fourth-and-15 on B29. It is a five-yard penalty for a kicking team player to voluntarily go out of bounds to
avoid being blocked during the kick. The only option for enforcing the foul by Team A is the previous spot. If the foul
were to be declined, it would be A’s ball at the B3.

Question 50

MISSED FIELD GOAL – TEAM A FOUL
Fourth-and-Seven on B37. Kicker A1 attempts a field goal from the B45. The kick is short and rolls to the B4 where
A6, who had stepped on the sideline to avoid a block at the B11 and had re-established back inbounds at the B9
and muffs the ball at the B9. The ball rolls to the B12 where B8 recovers and downs the ball.

Answer 50

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B12 or A’s ball, fourth-and-12 on B42. Team B can decline the penalties for illegal
touching and voluntarily going out of bounds by A6, or they can choose to enforce one of the fouls from the previous
spot. There is no other enforcement option on a missed field goal. (There is also a first touch at the B9, but Team B
would not take that option on this play.)

Question 51

TEAM A FOUL PRIOR TO / DURING MISSED FIELD GOAL
Fourth-and-10 on B18. A1’s field-goal attempt from the B26 is short and rolling toward the end zone, when A2 grabs
and twists the facemask of B1. The untouched kick then rolls into the end zone. A3 was illegally in motion when the
ball was snapped.

Answer 51

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B41, or A’s ball, fourth-and-25 on B33. Team B has the option to enforce the personal
foul from the succeeding spot, which is the spot of the kick.

Question 52

TEAM A FOUL DURING MISSED FIELD GOAL—RETURNED FOR TOUCHDOWN
Fourth-and-10 on B38. A1 attempts a field goal from the B46 which is short and caught in the end zone by B1. B1
returns the kick for a touchdown. Before the kick, (a) A5 pulled B2 down to the ground by his facemask, or (b) A3
holds B3 at the line of scrimmage before the kick.

Answer 52

Rulings:
(a) Touchdown Team B. Team B has the option to enforce the personal foul on the Try or the kickoff.
(b) Touchdown Team B. Kickoff B35. Only personal fouls or unsportsmanlike conduct fouls carry over to the Try or
kickoff. The penalty for holding is declined.

Question 53

MISSED FIELD GOAL—KICK INSIDE 20
Fourth-and-6 on B11. A field-goal attempt from the B19 is wide and goes over the end line.

Answer 53

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B20.

Question 54

MISSED FIELD GOAL—TEAM B TOUCHES IN FIELD OF PLAY
Fourth-and-9 on B39. A1’s field-goal attempt from the B47 is missed, and the ball is rolling at the B11 where B5
picks it up and returns it to the B18.

Answer 54

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B18. When Team B touches the missed field goal in the field of play or the end zone,
B loses the right to take the ball at the spot of the kick.

Question 55

MISSED FIELD GOAL—SPOT OF KICK OPTION
Fourth-and-10 on B43. A1 attempts a long field goal from the 50, which is shanked and rolls dead at the B2-yard
line. B3 is offside on the play.
Ruling: Fourth-and-5 on B38. If Team A declines the defense offside penalty, Team B will get the ball at the spot of
the kick - the 50-yard line - as a result of the missed field goal. If a Team B penalty is declined, that penalty does not
affect Team B’s option to take the ball at the spot of the kick on a missed field goal.

Answer 55

Note: Team B does not have the option to take the ball at the spot of the kick if (1) B touches the ball beyond the
line of scrimmage, or (2) the kick ends behind the line, or (3) a Team B foul during the play is accepted.

Question 56

MISSED FIELD GOAL—THIRD DOWN—RECOVERED OR GOES OUT OF BOUNDS BEHIND THE LINE
Third-and-2 on B9. A field-goal attempt from the B17 is blocked and: (a) goes out of bounds at the B18; (b) is
recovered by A2 at the B15 who runs for a touchdown; c) is recovered simultaneously by A3 and B3 at the B21; (d)
is recovered by A4 at the B19; (e) is recovered and downed by B2 at the B15; (f) goes beyond the line and then
returns behind the line, touched or untouched by Team B beyond the line in the field of play, and goes out of bounds
at the B16 or is recovered by A2 at the B16; or (g) goes beyond the line and returns behind the line, untouched by
Team B beyond the line, and is recovered by A2 at the B16.

Answer 56

Rulings
(a) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B18. If a third down scrimmage kick goes out of bounds or is simultaneously recovered,
the ball belongs to Team B.
(b) Touchdown Team A. Kickoff A35. Since the scrimmage kick was recovered by Team A behind the line of
scrimmage, the advance is legal.
(c) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B21. If a third down scrimmage kick is simultaneously recovered, the ball belongs to
Team B.
(d) A’s ball fourth-and-12 on B19. Since the scrimmage kick was made on third down, Team A keeps possession if
they recover the kick behind the line.
(e) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B15. Since the end of the kick was behind the line of scrimmage, Team B does not have
the option to take the ball at the spot of the kick.
(f) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B16. Since the end of the kick was behind the line of scrimmage, Team B does not have
the option to take the ball at the spot of the kick.
(g) A’s ball, fourth-and-9 on B16. Since the ball was not touched by Team B beyond the line and was recovered by
Team A behind the line, the down counts. Team A retains possession because the kick occurred on third down.
Note: Team B does not have the option to take the ball at the spot of the kick if (1) B touches the ball beyond the
line of scrimmage, or (2) a Team B foul during the play is accepted, or (3) the kick ends behind the line (including
either team recovering the ball behind the line, or the kick going out of bounds behind the line).

Question 57

MISSED FIELD GOAL—TOUCHED/UNTOUCHED BY TEAM B BEYOND LINE
Fourth-and-10 on B34. A field-goal attempt is kicked from the B42 and is missed, and (a) the ball is touched by B1
at the B5 and then rolls into the end zone where B2 downs it; or (b) the untouched kick rolls into the end zone where
it is downed by B2.

Answer 57

Rulings:
(a) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B20. Touchback.
(b) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B42. The ball is dead immediately when it hits in the end zone, untouched by Team B
in the field of play or the end zone, so it is therefore brought back to the spot of the kick.

Question 58

BLOCKED FIELD GOAL—TOUCHED BY B BEYOND LINE AND RETURNS BEHIND LINE—ILLEGAL PASS
Fourth-and-2 on B6. A field-goal attempt from the B14 is partially blocked, hits B1 at the B3, and bounces back to
the B8. A1 picks it up and from the B8 throws a forward pass to A2 who scores.

Answer 58

Ruling: A’s ball, first-and-10 on B13. Legal recovery by A1, but this is an illegal forward pass, because B’s touching
beyond the line causes a change of possession by rule. First down for Team A, and a five-yard penalty from the spot
of the pass.

Question 59

MISSED FIELD GOAL—KICK IS TOUCHED BY BOTH TEAM A AND TEAM B
Fourth-and-5 on B35. A1 attempts a field goal from the B43 that is partially blocked at the line of scrimmage. The
ball rolls to the B22 where A2 touches it. The ball then touches B3 at the B18 and is finally recovered by A4 at the
B15.

Answer 59

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B22. B’s ball at the spot of A’s first touching.

Question 60

MISSED FIELD GOAL—TEAM A PERSONAL FOUL DURING THE KICK
Fourth-and-6 on B17. During a field-goal attempt from the B25, A6 and A7 chop block B8 at the line of scrimmage.
The kick is blocked and: (a) goes out of bounds at the B22; (b) B2 tries to recover the ball at the B14 but muffs it out
of bounds at the B12; (c) rolls to the B5 where A2 downs it there; (d) goes to the B6 where B3 falls on the ball; or (e)
is recovered by B4 at the B2 and is advanced to the A35 where he is tackled.

Answer 60

Rulings:
(a) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B37. On a missed field-goal attempt, a UNR/UNS foul by the kicking team is enforced
from the succeeding spot when the receiving team is awarded the ball. The succeeding spot is where the kick ends
behind the line of scrimmage.
(b) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B27. Since Team B touched the ball beyond the line of scrimmage, the succeeding spot
is where the ball becomes dead in its possession.
(c) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B40. Since the ball was untouched beyond the line of scrimmage by Team B and downed
by Team A, the succeeding spot is the spot where the kick was attempted.
(d) B’s ball, first-and-10 on B21. Since Team B downed the ball beyond the line of scrimmage, the succeeding spot
is where the ball becomes dead in B’s possession.
(e) B’s ball, first-and-10 on A20. Team B can recover and advance the ball because it is a scrimmage kick. The
succeeding spot is the end of the run and Team A’s foul will be enforced from that spot.

Question 61

MISSED FIELD GOAL—TEAM B FOULS AFTER THE KICK
Fourth-and-4 on B35. A1’s field-goal attempt from the B43 is partially blocked at the line of scrimmage. The ball rolls
out of bounds at the B15. While the ball was loose, B2 clips at the B12.

Answer 61

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B6. This is a post possession foul, because the foul did not occur in an effort to block
the kick.

Question 62

MISSED FIELD GOAL—DOUBLE FOUL WITH CHANGE OF POSSESSION
Fourth-and-10 on B20. A field-goal attempt from the B28 is partially blocked and rolls out of bounds at the B30. Team
A had only six men on the line. After the kick is out of bounds, B1 clips at the B10.

Answer 62

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B15, or A’s ball fourth-and-10 on B20 Replay. Double foul with a change of
possession.

Question 63

MISSED FIELD GOAL—DOUBLE FOUL WITH CHANGE OF POSSESSION
Fourth-and-5 on B30. A1’s field-goal attempt from the B38 is blocked behind the line of scrimmage. B3 picks up the
loose ball and runs for a touchdown. During B3’s run, B4 blocks low at the A15. A2 was illegally in motion at the
snap.

Answer 63

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on A30. Double foul with a change of possession. They also would have the option to
replay the down, but Team B would never take that option.

Question 64

MISSED FIELD GOAL – DOUBLE FOUL AFTER A CHANGE OF POSSESSION
Fourth-and-5 on B30. A1’s field-goal attempt from the B38 is partially blocked at the line of scrimmage. B3 picks up
the loose ball at the B10 and runs to the B30, where A3 pulls him down by the facemask. While the kick was rolling
at the B20, B1 clipped A2 at the B15.

Answer 64

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B10. This is a double foul after a change of possession, since B’s foul was a post
possession foul during the kick. The fouls offset at the end of the kick, since that spot is behind the spot of the foul.
On a double after, the ball is placed at the spot Team B’s foul be enforced if it were the only foul on the play

Question 65

MISSED FAIR-CATCH KICK—TREATED AS A MISSED FIELD GOAL
After completing a fair catch at the Team A40, Team B elects the option of a fair-catch kick but kicks the ball wide
and short, hitting in the end zone and bouncing back and out of bounds at the A2-yard line without touching any
player.

Answer 65

Ruling: A’s ball, first-and-10 on A40. A missed fair catch kick is treated the same as a missed field goal. The Referee
would wind the clock when the ball is kicked.

Question 66

FIELD GOAL GOOD—FOUL BY TEAM B
Fourth-and-5 on B22. A1’s field-goal attempt from the B30 is good. On the play, B3 head slaps A2 on the line of
scrimmage immediately after the snap, displacing A2, to allow a teammate to shoot through in an attempt to block
the kick.

Answer 66

Ruling: Option: Award three points and kickoff 50, or A’s ball, first-and-10 on B11. The head slap is a foul for
unnecessary roughness.

Question 67

FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT HITS OFFICIAL
Fourth-and-5 on B15. A’s field-goal attempt from the B23 is low and the ball hits the Side Judge prior to going over
the upright.

Answer 67

Ruling: The field goal is good. Kickoff A35.

Question 68

FIELD-GOAL ATTEMPT—LAST PLAY OF GAME—(5 VS. 15)—MAJOR FOUL ON TEAM B
Fourth-and-6 on B22. Team B leads 33-32. A1 attempts a field goal from the B30 that is good. Team A has six men
on the line of scrimmage, and B2 head slaps A2 at the line of scrimmage immediately after the snap. Time in the
game expires on the play.

Answer 68

Ruling: A’s ball, first-and-10 on B11. Extend for one down; 5 vs. 15 with the major live ball foul by the defense. Had
the kick been unsuccessful, there would be a change of possession, thus no 5 vs. 15. The down would be replayed
at the previous spot.

Note: If B2’s foul had been a dead ball penalty after the kick was declared dead, the game would be over with Team
B winning 33-32, no enforcement of the penalty, and no extension.

Question 69

FIELD-GOAL ATTEMPT— LAST PLAY OF THE GAME - 5 VS. 15—MAJOR FOUL ON TEAM A
Fourth-and-5 on B16. Kicker A1 attempts a field goal from the B24 that is good. On the play, A2 leg whips B2 on the
line of scrimmage. B3 was offside at the snap. Time in the game expires on the play with Team B leading 21-20.

Answer 69

Ruling: No score. Game over. (5 vs. 15 with the major foul by the offense.) (14-5-1-Exc 1, 4-8-2-h-Exc 2) Had the
kick been unsuccessful, there would be a change of possession, thus no 5 vs. 15. The down would be replayed at
the previous spot.

Question 70

FIELD-GOAL ATTEMPT—DROP KICK—ON OR BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE
Fourth-and-Seven on B10. Team A trails 23-20 and lines up for a field goal from the B18 with 0:42 remaining in the
game. Holder A2 muffs the snap and Kicker A1 recovers the ball at the B16 and runs to the B10 where he drop kicks
the ball through the uprights with 0:35 remaining. The ball is dropped just inside the B10, but part of A1’s body is still
on or behind the B10.

Answer 70

Ruling: Field goal good. Kickoff A35. (On a scrimmage kick, the kicker’s entire body and ball must be beyond the
line of scrimmage for this to be illegal).

Question 71

TOUCHBACK—KICKOFF—FUMBLE OVER END LINE
On a kickoff, B1 catches the ball in the end zone, and while running there, he fumbles the ball over the end line.

Answer 71

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B25. The impetus is from the kick.

Question 72

TOUCHBACK—PUNT—TEAM A DOES NOT RE-ESTABLISH IN FIELD OF PLAY
Fourth-and-4 on A45. A1 punts the ball which bounces on the B2. Kicking-team member A3 goes into the end zone
and jumps from the end zone and controls the ball while airborne and lands on the B1-yard line.

Answer 72

Ruling: B’s ball, first-and-10 on B20. Touchback. To prevent a touchback, the kicking team member must reestablish himself in the field of play prior to touching the ball. The play is dead as soon as he touches the ball.

Question 73

TOUCHBACK AND PERSONAL FOUL—IMPETUS BY TEAM B
Third-and-8 on A5. A1 takes the snap and hands the ball forward to back A2 at the A4. A2 muffs the handoff,
accidentally kicks the ball, and the ball rolls toward the sideline where it comes to a stop at the A4. B2 attempts to
scoop the ball, but instead muffs it into A’s end zone. A4 recovers and is tackled in the end zone by his facemask.

Answer 73

Ruling: A’s ball, first-and-10 on A35. Touchback. Because the ball was at rest, Team B’s impetus put the ball in the
end zone, and the personal foul is enforced from the 20-yard line. The personal foul could also be enforced from the
previous spot if that was more advantageous for Team A.

Question 74

FAIR-CATCH KICK—FOUL BY KICKING TEAM—DURING EXTENSION OF PERIOD
On the last play of the fourth quarter of a tied game, B1 signals for a fair catch and catches the punt on the A33.
Team B elects to extend the period by a fair-catch kick. On the fair-catch kick from the A33, B3 (the kicking team) is
offside. The ball goes through the uprights.

Answer 74

Ruling: Go to overtime. No score. Since this is an offensive foul, the penalty is not enforced, and the score is negated.

Question 75

MUFFED SNAP ON FIELD GOAL—INTENTIONAL GROUNDING OR NOT
Third-and-10 on B15. With 15 seconds remaining in the game, Team A lines up to attempt a game-winning field goal
from the B23. Holder A2 muffs the snap, picks the ball up off the ground, and realizes that the field-goal attempt
would now be blocked. Therefore, while still on his knees at the B22, A2: (a) shovels the ball toward his wingback
where it hits the ground behind the wingback who is not looking; or (b) spikes the ball into the ground directly in front
of him. There were 11 seconds on the clock when the pass hit the ground.

Answer 75

Rulings:
(a) Fourth-and-10 on B15. Incomplete pass. No foul.
(b) Fourth-and-20 on B25. Intentional grounding. Run 10 seconds, if Team B chooses, in which case the game
clock starts on the ready-for-play signal.

Question 76

FAIR-CATCH KICK GOOD—ILLEGAL FORMATION BY KICKING TEAM
On a fair-catch kick from the A40, Team B (kicking team) does not have two players outside the numbers on either
side of the formation as the kick is made. The kick is good and (a) there is time remaining on the clock or (b) time in
the half expires on the play.

Answer 76

Rulings:
(a) Fair-catch kick from A45; replay the kick after enforcement of the five-yard penalty for the illegal formation.
Although not a free kick, the rules for a free-kick formation apply. On the replay, Team A could also run a play
from scrimmage instead of attempting another fair catch kick.
(b) There is no extension of the half, and the score does not count, since this is an offensive foul

Question 77

HOLDER BRINGS A TOWEL ONTO THE FIELD PRIOR TO SETTING UP FOR TRY
On a Try attempt from the 15-yard line, holder A2 brings out a large white towel and wipes his hands before calling
for the snap. After he wipes his hands, the holder (a) throws the towel away and behind where he is kneeling or (b)
drops the towel directly in front of him. The snap is made and the kick is good.

Answer 77

Ruling: (a) and (b) Try is good, KO A35. The holder is allowed to bring a towel out to the field that measures 6” by
8” and should be tucked into his waistband after use. The holder will be warned that, if on a subsequent FG or Try
attempt he doesn’t tuck the towel into his waistband, there will be a 5-yard penalty
