keystone,

floray did specify which code for which he requested ananswer. It is in the subject: NCAA PI Penalty Spot.

Thanks for providing the Fed ruling though.

Here's the Canadian amateur ruling:

DPI > 15y is a 15y penalty, with an AFD. If the DPI is part of a dual foul (at least one foul by each team), the AFD does not apply.
I was told in Canadian Amateur rules, PI was once a spot foul with AFD, but I don't know when they changed it to 15 yards max.

In the CFL (our pro league) it's always AFD to A at PF for DPI.
