A fight breaks out between several opposing players and: (a) two substitutes from each team come onto the field; or (b) one substitute of A enters and three enter from B's team box.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________
Ruling: In (a), both substitutes are disqualified and the penalties offset. In (b), the one 15-yard penalty on A will cancel one by B resulting in two 15-yard penalties on B. In both cases, penalties and disqualification also will be assed to those who where fighting. (9.8.1)Casebook (2.11; 9.4.1)Rulebook
My question, do the penalties really offset? I thought they don't :/

I believe its NCAA that uses the offsetting terminology. Federation rules dictate that these fouls are enforced in the order of occurrence. This could be very important if youre enforcing inside the 30 where 1/2 the distance to the goal line comes into play.
