2. PENALTY VS. FOUL FOUL: A Rule Infraction For Which a Penalty is Prescribed PENALTY: The Consequences of Such a Rule Infraction—Accepted Or Declined

3. PENALTY VS. FOUL THEY ARE NOT THE SAME! “Foul” Is To “Crime” as “Penalty” Is To “Punishment”

4. PENALTY VS. FOUL • Can a foul be declined? • NO! • Can a penalty declined? • YES!

5. PENALTIESCOMPLETED • Penalty Completed When: Accepted, Declined, or Canceled • ANY Penalty May Be Declined • Multiple Live-Ball Fouls By One Team -- Offended Team Chooses One

6. PENALTIESCOMPLETED • Offsetting Fouls --Only Live-Ball Fouls Offset --Exceptions:.....................

7. EXCEPTIONS TO OFFSETTING FOULS 10-1-4 • “Clean Hands” Provision • Postscrimmage Kick Enforcement • Try, After Team B Possession • Extra Periods, After Team B Possession

8. BASIC SPOT AND ENFORCEMENT SPOT BASIC SPOT • Benchmark for Application of “3-and-1” Principle--Depends on Type of Play 10-2-2-d ENFORCEMENT SPOT • Spot From Which a Penalty Is Enforced

9. PENALTY ENFORCEMENT 10-2-2-c The 3-and-1 Principle Asks: • What kind of play was run when the foul occurred? • Where Is the BASIC SPOT? • Who FOULED? • Where Is the FOUL in Relation to the Basic Spot?

10. BASIC SPOTS END OF THE RELATED RUN • Running Plays When RunEndsBeyond NZ • Running Plays When There Is No NZ

11. BASIC SPOTS PREVIOUS SPOT • Running Plays When Run EndsBehind Neutral Zone • Forward Pass Plays • Kick Plays (Except When PSK Applies)

12. END OF RUN The spot where the run ends may be: • Where the ball becomes dead • Where a player fumbles the ball • Where the ball is handed to another player • From where a backwards or illegal pass is thrown • Where an illegal scrimmage kick is made

13. ENFORCEMENT SPOTS BASIC SPOTS • Previous Spot • End of the Run • Spot of the Foul Special Cases: Succeeding Spot: Dead-Ball Fouls End of the Kick: Postscrimmage Kick

14. DIAGRAM For “3-and-1” FOUL BY TEAM In Possession Not In Possession --------------BASIC SPOT------------- *Penalize From Basic Spot Beyond Basic Spot* Beyond Basic Spot* Behind Basic Spot Behind Basic Spot*

15. The “3-and-1” PRINCIPLE “3-and-1” Does NOT Mean “From Where It Hurts Most”

16. POSTSCRIMMAGE KICK ENFORCEMENT 10-2-3 Applies ONLY to Fouls by Team B: • Three or More Yards Beyond NZ • During Scrimmage Kick Play Not on a Try Not in Extra Period Not On Successful Field Goal • Kick Crosses NZ • Team A Does Not Have Legal Possession When The Ball Is Declared Dead (2-2-5-c)

17. POSTSCRIMMAGE KICK ENFORCEMENT If These Conditions Are Satisfied: • Apply “3-and-1” Principle The PSK Spot Is The Basic Spot (End Of Kick Or B-20) • PSK enforcement applies as if Team B had possession during the kick.

23. The “3-and-1” PRINCIPLE

24. Defensive Pass Interference • DPI is not a personal foul; so it can never carry over if committed during TD. • If the DPI occurs less than 15 yards from LOS, it is a spot foul. • If the DPI occurs more than15 yards from LOS, the penalty is 15 yards from the previous spot.

25. Defensive Pass Interference • There is not “half the distance” penalty until the previous spot is at the 2 yard line. • Inside the 30 yard line, you will mark off the full 15 yards. • Inside the 17 yard line, you will put the ball at the 2 yard line.

26. Defensive Pass Interference • This is sometime referred to as the “moving window”. • The “moving window” does not collapse until you reach the 17 yard line.

27. Defensive Pass Interferenceon the Try • Ball snapped at the 3, use half the distance enforcement. • Ball snapped outside the 3, use the “moving window”.

34. PENALTY ENFORCEMENT ON THE TRY Change of Possession • Either Team (Not Both) Fouls After Change of Possession: Penalty Declined By Rule—No Carry-Over [EXC: Flagrant Personal Foul or LBF Treated as DBF: Penalty Carries Over]
