Are these rulings correct?
Play: K1 kicks off from the 40 to start the game.
(a) DURING the kick, K4 grabs R10's facemask at the 50. R10 retailiates and grabs K4's facemask at the 50. Kick fair caught at the 20.
R has the option of:
- Offsetting fouls. Rekick.
- Decline K's penalty, the PSK R foul is enforced from the 20 to the 10, R ball 1st and 10 at the 10. (10-2-3)
(b) DURING the kick, K4 grabs R10's facemask at the 50. R5 catches the ball at the R20, THEN R10 retaliates and grabs K4's facemask at the 50.
R has the option of:
- Offsetting fouls. Rekick.
- Decline K's penalty, the R foul is enforced from the 20 to the 10, R ball 1st and 10 at the 10.
(c) DURING the kick, K4 grabs R10's facemask at the 50. R5 catches the ball at the R20, THEN R5 holds in the R's end zone.
R has the option of:
- Offsetting fouls. Rekick.
- Decline K's penalty, the R foul is enforced from the end zone, SAFETY.
This has me thinking of this one here:
:03 left in game. K leading 17-10, kicking off from the 40.
DURING the kick, K4 grabs R10's facemask at the 50. R10 retailiates and grabs K4's facemask at the 50. Kick caught at the 20. Tackled at the 25 as time expires.
There are a heck of a lot of options on this play.
My first thought is that it's a double foul - penalties offset, R wants a re kick to have another chance at scoring.
BUT....
According to the rulebook, it's R's option (as the team last having possession) FIRST. If they ACCEPT K's penalty, hoping for the double-foul, K can either DECLINE the penalty, and give R the ball 1st and 10 at the R40, or K can ACCEPT the penalty and re-kick from the K40.
R can't DECLINE K's penalty, because K would just DECLINE R's penalty, game over.
So, it's actually K's option whether they want to re-kick from the K40 or give R the ball 1st and 10 at the R40. Correct?
