The punt rolls to Rs 25 where it is eventually blown dead since no players are attempting to recover. Ruling: If accepted, A will play a first and 10 at the 50. (True or False)"
Why would/would not this be a PSK foul? Does a scrimmage kick have to start with a scrimmage kick formation? The foul occurred before the kick crossed the ENZ, but I didn't think that was a requirement of PSK (according to 2.16.2.g) although the ruling in Case book 10.2.1 Sit D seems to indicate it.

False.
This is a PSK foul. All of the criteria for PSK have been met.
1. During a down with a scrimmage kick except try or successful field goal.
2. Scrimmage kick crossed the expanded neutral zone.
3. Foul was beyond the expanded neutral zone.
4. Foul occured before the kick ended.
5. K does not have possession of the ball and will not be next to put the ball into play.
Team A gave up its right to keep the ball by punting it.
