Correct.
However, I do not know what a PSK is, so I
really can't be sure.
We have 5 points of application for fouls: PLS (previous line of scrimmage), PBD (point ball dead), PBH (point ball held), PF (point of foul), and PP (point of possession).
We call the "line to gain" the "front stick" or say that the player "gained yards" or that "yards were gained".
Running back gets a few yards and then there is an offensive holding call. Foul is 10 yards. If yards were gained, it's 10y from PBH, first down. If yards were not gained, it's 10y from PLS, repeat the down. And remember that we have 3 downs. Nowhere is Canadian football is there a such thing as a 4th down. However, many leagues use a 4th down during the learning stages of the game. (ages 14 and below, and JV. But V, the OVFL, University, and semi-pro, pro, etc... all use 3 downs.
I believe that PSK has something to do with our PP. If there's an in-flight foul, like during a kick from scrimmage, the POA is the PP, whether legal or illegal.
In general, "personal foul" type penalties are applied in addition to all other fouls. They are UR, OC, RP and NM. (Unnecessary Roughness - which is unnecessary physical contact, Objectionable Conduct - which is unnecessary verbal stuff and optional ejection, Rough Play - which carries an ejection, and No Mouthguard - is largely administrative.)
