RULING:
Because A66 flinched, B43s offside is a dead ball foul, which is why the
try was replayed. If A accepted, the enforcement would have been ½ the
distance to the goal line. I would consider B28s spitting as fighting,
which is a live ball foul treated as a dead ball, and B28 is ejected. A78 is
guilty of illegal formation. Because we have a live ball foul treated as a
dead ball foul and a live ball foul, the penalties do not offset. A has the
option of enforcing the USL on the try or on the succeeding kickoff or
succeeding spot in overtime. Illegal formation is enforced on the try.
If A chooses enforcement of USL on the try, first march A back 5 yards for
the illegal formation, then march ½ the distance to the goal for the USL.
The end result is A will attempt a try from the b4. If A chooses enforcement
on the kickoff, then A will attempt the try from the b8 and will kickoff
from the a45.
