I orginally thought the penalty was inforced from the spot of the foul but that would give the A the advantage of a 1st down at the 50. Seems that would not be much of a penalty to A.
Again, being a newbie I appreciate the ability to talk things out here and the feedback makes things much clearer. Officiated my first scrimmage over the weekend and it was fantastic once I settled down. The first 10 plays or so I saw nothing but flashes so I worked on slowing things down and concentrating on my keys and the lightbulb started to come on. It's a little dim at the moment but after another scrimmage and 2 Pop Warner games this weekend I'm begining to realize, I know nothing. Man this is hard work, but oh what fun.

I'm not sure about the Official's Manual but the rule book had a correction on the Penalty Summary page and that you were to add the words "also loss of down" to #16, which is the illegal fwd pass (by A). Glad you're having fun!
