MJT - What I meant about the signals was that we didn't have a chance to give a preliminary signal for the offside before the delay of game happened.
To tell you the truth though - going back to something a long time ago on the board - I was
overruled by the R.
He acknowledged it was delay of game, but said he wasn't going to penalize A for their own stupidity. Didn't wave off the flag, or give any indication to the press-box that I had thrown 2. And a coach even asked why there was no delay of game (a coach who understood what he saw).
I'll not be working with that R again after being treated like that. He was also more worried about getting the game over as quickly as possible to catch his train.
Back to my original question;
I remember reading somewhere (NF? or somewhere in NCAA) that the dead ball fouls are evaluated seperately, except when there has not been a chance to relay the fouls to the WH (continuous action fouls?). That is why I was wondering about the enforcement. I would have enforced it correctly, but the other possibility came into my head this morning, and I wasn't sure any more.
Thanks for the input guys,
James

These are all enforced as dead ball fouls in order of occurrence. The offside would move the ball to B's 37, leaving the ball beyond the line-to-gain. Award a new series to A. Then, since the foul by A occurred prior to the ready-for-play, move the ball back 5 or 15 (whichever you enforce) before you establish the new line-to-gain. 1st and 10.
