  2. 2012 Rule Changes Restraining Lines Rule 6-1-1 • ARTICLE 1. For any free kick formation, the kicking team's restraining line shall be the yard line through the most forward point from which the ball shall be kicked, and the receiving team's restraining line shall be the yard line 10 yards beyond that point. Unless relocated by a penalty, the kicking team's restraining line on a kickoff shall be its 35-yard line, and for a free kick after a safety, its 20-yard line. Rule 6-1-2 (FR-61)

  3. Free Kick Formation Rule 6-1-2 • b. After the ball has been made ready for play all players on the kicking team except the kicker must be no more than five yards behind their restraining line. A player satisfies this rule when one foot is on or beyond the line five yards behind the restraining line. If one player is more than five yards behind the restraining line and any other player kicks the ball, it is a foul.

  4. Touching Ground On or Behind Goal LineRule 6-1-7 • b. If the result of the play is a touchback (Rule 8-6) for Team B, they will put the ball in play at their 25-yard line.

  5. OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH A KICKRule 6-4-1 • a. It is an interference foul if, before the receiver touches the ball, a Team A player enters the area defined by the width of the receiver’s shoulders and extending one yard in front of him. When in question it is a foul.

  6. OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH A KICK Rule 6-4-1 • e. During a free kick a player of the receiving team in position to receive the ball has the same kick-catch and fair-catch protection whether the ball is kicked directly off the tee or is immediately driven to the ground, strikes the ground once and goes into the air in the manner of the ball kicked directly off the tee.

  7. Snap After a Touchback8-6-2 • ARTICLE 2. After a touchback is declared, the ball belongs to the defending team at its own 20-yard line (Exception: Free Kick), and that team shall put the ball in play on or between the hash marks by a snap (Exception: Extra-period rules). The snap shall be from midway between the hash marks on the 20-yard line, unless a different position on or between the hash marks is selected by the team designated to put the ball in play before the ready-for-play signal. After the ready-for-play signal, the ball may be relocated after a charged team timeout, unless preceded by a Team A foul or offsetting fouls.

  8. ATTEMPTING TO LEAP OVER THE PUNT SHIELD Rule 9-1-11 • c. No defensive player who is inside the tackle box may try to block a punt by leaving his feet in an attempt to leap directly over an opponent. • 1. It is not a foul if the player tries to block the punt by jumping straight up without attempting to leap over the opponent. • 2. It is not a foul if a player attempts to leap through or over the gap between players. Editorial: this foul can only occur if a kick is made. No kick = no foul.
