Has the rule changed over the years regarding penalties on scoring plays? I seem to remember in the past, you had to decline the penalty to keep the points. If you accepted, then the points came off the board.
However, recently, I see more situations where the points stay and the penalty is enforced on the kickoff.
Can someone explain how all that works and whether it's the same at all levels?
