Title: Half the distance penalties
Post by: Texas_Newbie on September 12, 2022, 09:23:45 PM
So Half the Distance penalties...Is this correct?

15 yard penalty is Half inside the 30?
10 yard penalty half inside the 15?
5 yard penalty half inside the 5?

15 yard penalty is Half inside the 30? Yes.
10 yard penalty half inside the 15? No. 1/2 the distance inside the 20.
5 yard penalty half inside the 5 ? No. 1/2 the distance inside the 10.

10 yard penalty half inside the 15?  Inside the 20.  So for instance, if you needed to go half the distance on a 10 yd penalty from the 18, you would go to the 9.
5 yard penalty half inside the 5?  Inside the 10.  So for instance, if you needed to go half the distance on a 5 yd penalty from the 8, you would go to the 4.

The penalty enforcement cannot result in the ball moving closer than half the distance to the goal.  Is DPI the only exception?

Yes, and no. DPI on a regular scrimmage down when the ball is snapped on/between the B-2 and goal are 1/2 the distance. DPI during a try from on/inside the B-3 are 1/2 the distance.
Otherwise, S/2/15 (I always say "It'S 2:15). Spot, 2, or full 15 yards, whichever comes first.

That is why officials will say "Inside the 30/20/10", whether out loud or on the O2O. This is a reminder that 15, 10, or 5-yard penalties, respectively, are now half the distance (with the exception of DPI, not including on a try at or inside the B-3).
