I have never seen one or heard of one (other then in the rulebook). So I am alittle confussed of how a "free-kick for a field goal after a fair catch" works.

What are the mechanics for the crew (5)?
FIELD-GOAL ATTEMPT BY FREE KICK AFTER A FAIR CATCH OR AWARDED FAIR CATCH
I. POSITIONS
A. Referee behind upright
B. Umpire behind upright, rule on crossbar.
C. Both officials determine whether kick is successful.
II. ALL OTHER OFFICIALS MECHANICS SAME AS A KICKOFF

Quote:
Are all 22 players involved in the play?
Yes same as a free kick with a 10 yard neutral zone!

Quote:
What if the kick falls short of the goal line?
It may be advanced by R or recovered by K.


Quote:
If it is missed, where is the ball next spotted?
I will assume by "missed" you mean the kick went beyond he endline or landed in the endzone and if this is the case the result of the play is a touchback. R will be next to put the ball in play at the R 20 yard line.

I hope this helps
