Lightbulb Canadian Ruling

Announcers screw this one up all the time and it drives me nuts. Even heard one announcer, after it was ruled a TB (may have been Dan Dierdork) go on and on about how the official must have thought the player was going down on his own before he was tackled, and wondering out loud if they should review the play on that basis. Idiot.
Hmm... a kick-off caught in the endzone. If the receiving team is downed in the endzone, score a rouge for the kicking team and R scrimmages from their 35. (This is the infamous 1 point scoring method.) If the player gets out of the EZ, R scrimmages from his forward progress location.

If there's an R foul in the EZ while R is in possession, A can opt for the rouge or decline and let R scimmage at PBD.
