QUIZ RESULTS
58% - Legal, point to the team in white (correct answer)
42% - Illegal, point to the team in black (incorrect answer)
This play is LEGAL, and a point should be awarded to the team in white. The Secretary Rules Editor (SRE) has interpreted that the defensive player did not make a second attempt at playing the ball. Both the pancake and the kick were in the same defensive movement, thus one attempt to play the ball.
