Foul by A behind NZ, but Illegal Batting is not among fouls listed in 10-2-2-b. Run ended behind NZ, so basic spot is previous spot (10-2-2-d-1-a). Foul by team in possession, and spot of foul (B-28) is behind basic spot (B-25), so enforcement is from spot of foul (10-2-2-c-1). The fumble (and it's still a fumble, even though batted) from the B-30 goes out of bounds at the B-25 (beyond spot of fumble), and the clock starts on the Ready throughout the game when a "forward fumble" goes out of bounds (3-3-2-e-2).

The fumble (and it's still a fumble, even though batted) from the B-30 goes out of bounds at the B-31 (behind spot of fumble), so the ball remains at the out of bounds spot (7-2-4-b-2). The clock starts on the Snap whenever a "backward fumble" goes out of bounds after the Two-Minute Timeout in either half (3-3-2-d-2).

A14's pitch from the B-21 to the B-23 is a backward pass (and it's still a backward pass, even though muffed and batted), so the ball remains at the out-of-bounds spot (B-20) (7-2-4-a). The clock starts on the Snap whenever a backward pass goes out of bounds after the Two-Minute Timeout in either half (3-3-2-d-2).

Question 33

Answer 33

A - 1/10 @ B-11 - Snap. B96 batted the ball from the B-22 to the B-24, which from B's perspective is forward; so this is a foul (9-4-1-c). A14's pitch from the B-21 to the B-23 is a backward pass (and it's still a backward pass, even though muffed and batted). The end of the related run is the spot of the backward pass (B-21) (2-30-4-c), and since the run ended beyond NZ, the basic spot is the end of the related run (10-2-2-d-1-b). Foul by team not in possession, so enforcement is from basic spot (B-21) (10-2-2-c-3). The clock starts on the Snap whenever a backward pass goes out of bounds after the Two-Minute Timeout in either half (3-3-2-d-2).
