In a state where tie games are resolved by the 10-yard line procedure,
the game ends in a tie. Immediately following the final whistle, there
is a fight between A1 and B1 and: (a) none of the officials observed
which player actually struck the first blow; or (b) A1 struck B1 who
retaliated; or (c) B1 first struck A1 who retaliated. In (a), (b) and
(c), A wins the toss and elects to go on defence first.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________
Ruling: In (a), (b) and (c), A1 and B1 will be disqualified for fighting
and they may not participate in the overtime. [b}In (a), because it was
not possible to determine which player started the fight, there will be
no penalty measurement. [/b]
I understand B & C. But NO penality measurement? HOw do you signal this penality after both PF's and ejections?
In (b), the fouls will be penalized in the order
of occurrence with the penalty against A being half the distance to the
goal line. From there, B will be penalized 15 yards and will put the
ball in play, first and goal from the 20-yard line. In (c), because B
was first to foul, it will be penalized back to the 25, and from there
the penalty for the foul by A measured half the distance to the goal. B
will put the ball in play, first and goal, from the 12 1/2.
