The umpire on my crew likes to ask questions to try to stump the rest of us. I thought I'd share it.
I would like to give first shots to the new officials (2 years or less of experience) before you veterens post the correct answer.
Thanks!

In football, there is one foul that actually mandates a 30 yard penalty (well, actually two 15 yard distance penalties marked off back-to-back.) This is for a single foul, not combining fouls (such as a live ball foul followed by a dead ball foul.) The foul itself is a live ball foul. You rarely see this foul called, but it behooves the back judge, line judge, linesman and umpire to be familiar with it. I have seen it called once in 12 years. (No, it isn't Unfair Acts.) Either the defense or offense can be penalized for the infraction
