1. Incorrect. Any player may recover and advance a fumble. Rule: 7-4-3

2. Incorrect. Ball is dead when possessed by K2 @ K’s 32 YL. K, 1/10 @ K’s 32 YL. The kick was possessed
beyond the neutral zone; therefore it is dead. The “expanded NZ” does not apply here. Rule: 6-2-3

3. This is offensive pass interference. Pass interference restrictions start for A at the snap and continue until a forward pass is
caught. If accepted the result is A, 2/25 @ B’s 40 YL. Rule: 7-5-7 and Case play 7-5-7 Sit. B.

4. Incorrect. K1 must kick the ball since he is positioned more than 5 yards from K’s Free Kick Line. This is a dead ball foul for Encroachment.
The officials must sound their whistle when K2 kicks the ball. Note: The BJ needs to memorize the number of the Kicker so he will know who has to kick the ball when the kicker is positioned more than 5 YDS from K’s Free Kick Line. Rule: 6-1-3b

5. This is not a foul on A1. B1 has committed a disconcerting act. This is Unsportsmanlike by B1. Rule: 9-5-1d. (Note: When an official first sees a B/RT player stomping their foot within 1 YD of the LOS they should endeavor to put a stop to this act immediately without
penalty by warning B/RT players. However, if an A player is enticed by this act, A should not be penalized for B committing a disconcerting act).

6. Incorrect. This is a TB. B1 did not advance the ball out of B’s EZ. The “force” that put the ball into the EZ was A’s pass. Rule: 8-5-3d.
