Am I imagining rules now?
« on: May 21, 2012, 04:38:48 AM »
For some reason I have it in my head that if a PAT kick goes off the helmet of an OLer and through the uprights it is not valid.
I have looked through the NCAA and NFHS books but not found anything like that (personally only work NCAA rules). For some reason I seem to think I read it in an A.R.

Can someone tell me if this is I'm hallucinating, or there is/was a reference to something like this?

8-4-1-a:

Quote
A field goal shall be scored for the kicking team if a drop kick or place kick passes over the crossbar between the uprights of the receiving team's goal before it touches a player of the kicking team or the ground.

Emphasis mine.

NFHS 

One of my old white hats always got tickled when he read off "KAROOMS" during meetings.

Case Play-
Quote
TOUCHING IGNORED
4.2.2 SITUATION I: During a try, K1’s place kick hits lineman K2 who is behind
the neutral zone, and caroms between the uprights and above the crossbar. RULING:
The try is successful. Touching a kick is ignored if the touching is in the neutral-
zone expanded, or on K’s side of it. It is important to remember the neutral
zone does not expand into the end zone. If the same touching occurs beyond the
plane of the goal line, the ball becomes dead and the try is ended. (2-28-2; 6-2-6)

Seems it is an NFL rule:
11-4-1b 'After the ball is kicked, it must not touch the ground or any player of the offensive team before it passes through the goal.'
