Interesting Extend Period Question
bctgp:
Team A kicks a successful FG as time expires in the 2nd QTR. During the play Team B commits a live-ball personal foul. What are the enforcement options especially as it relates to possible period extended?
dammitbobby:
That's a great question. Based on the two rules below, specifically the exception in 3-2-3-a-1, I'd say that 15 yarders are enforced on the KO to the 3rd quarter, whereas 5 and 10 yarders extend the period.
ARTICLE 3. a. A period shall be extended for an untimed down if one or more of the following occurs during a down in which time expires in the 2nd or 4th quarter (A.R. 3-2-3-I-VIII):
1. A penalty is accepted for a live-ball foul(s) (Exception: Rule 10-2-5-a). At the option of the offended team, the period is not extended if the foul is by the team in possession and the statement of the penalty
includes loss of down (A.R. 3-2-3-VIII).
10-2-5-a-1 states that Fifteen-yard penalties for personal fouls and for unsportsmanlike conduct fouls are enforced on the try, the succeeding kickoff or from the succeeding spot in extra periods at the option of the scoring team.
Since there is no try after a field goal, and we're not in extra periods, the only option is to enforce the foul on the succeeding kickoff.

So there is no option to take the points off the board and run an untimed down after the penalty enforcement?
Cowtown Ref:
Yes, they would have the option of replaying the down after the 15 yd enforcement.

Based on what rule, and does that rule supersede 3-2-3-a-1?
