Title: rules question
Post by: Roundncircles on October 29, 2011, 09:11:19 PM

just wondering.... Team K lines up to punt... punt carries down to R 15 where it touches K #88 on the ankle...  R #3 then picks up the ball runs 8 yards to the 23 and fumbles... recovered by K 56.... Who the heck does the ball belong to and at what yard line?.... High School rules

R has the option to take the ball at the spot of first touching (R15) or the result of the play.  Obviously, R is going to take the spot of first touching.

R's ball 1st and 10 from R15.

If I am not totally wrong ... same ruling also under NCAA rules.

so we're going to throw our bean bag on first touching by K? Forgive me, I'm not a back judge.

Looks like you might need three bean bags for this. First touching by K. EOK. Fumble. I know most BJ's carry two. Never seen them with 3 bean bags.

Why would you bag where ball is touched by "K" (Team A).  Is that a NFHS deal?
