Overtime Penalty Administration

[5GetsYou1]

Here's a variance from yesterday's play of the day:

The game ends in a tie with the score A - 21 and B - 21.  Immediately following the final whistle, B1 clearly throws a punch at A1.  A1 retaliates by punching B1.  All five officials agree that B1 was the first one to throw a punch.  B wins the overtime toss and elects to go on defense first.  Where will the ball be spotted to start the overtime?

ART. 5 . . . Enforcement of penalties for unsportsmanlike, nonplayer or dead-ball fouls:

a. Penalties for dead-ball fouls, other than when both teams commit unsportsmanlike, nonplayer or dead-ball personal fouls prior to the completion of penalty administration for those fouls, are administered separately and in the order of occurrence. A dead-ball foul is not coupled with a live-ball foul or another dead-ball foul to create a double or multiple foul.

b. If both teams commit unsportsmanlike, nonplayer or dead-ball personal fouls prior to the completion of penalty administration for those fouls, the distance penalty for an equal number of 15-yard unsportsmanlike, nonplayer or dead-ball personal fouls will offset. Any remaining penalties will be enforced separately and in the order of occurrence.

c. A disqualified player or nonplayer shall be removed.

I don't think it matters anymore.  I could be wrong, but the yard penalties would cancel...

 

BUT............ If they don't..... 1st and Goal from the 12.5 yard line.  15 yard penalty to back them up to the 25, half the distance to the 12.5

A has four downs from B's 10. A1 and B1 are ejected. Fouls offset.

Ignore that yardage enforcement...
