Penalty Enforcement Flashcards
Replay review – proper down:
First and 10 on the A-20. A77 is flagged for holding, and the penalty is accepted. After the penalty enforcement, the officials mistakenly indicate
second down.
RULING: The foul is not reviewable, but the number
of the next down may be corrected. A down can be corrected at any point in that series of downs either by replay official review or coach’s challenge. Correct down to A 1-20 on A-10 (Rule 12-3-6-d).
Replay review – proper down:
Second and 15 on the A-20. The quarterback runs to the A22 and throws an incomplete forward pass. In enforcing the penalty the referee announces that second down will be replayed.
RULING: Reviewable play, regarding whether the passer crossed the neutral zone before the pass was thrown and also the replay official can correct the number of the down. A 3-18 on A-17 (Rules 12-3-2-c and 12-3-6-d).
Personal Foul and unsportsmanlike conduct fouls– penalty enforcement after an overturn:
First and 10 on the A-30. A10 throws a low pass that is controlled by B45 at the 50-yard line. Officials rule that the ball was intercepted. B45 returns the ball to the A-10 where he is tackled by A65 who targets B45,
launching and hitting him with the crown of the helmet. A65 is flagged for a personal foul. Replays show A10’s pass hit the ground before B45 controlled it.
RULING: Reviewable play, regarding whether the pass
was incomplete or intercepted. Overturn to A 2-25 on A-15. Regardless of the outcome of the replay review, the penalty for the personal foul is enforced. The foul is treated as a live-ball foul if the ruling stands, or as
a dead-ball foul if the ruling is overturned. Only penalties for personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct fouls are enforced in this situation (Rule 12-3-2-a).
