15 yards in Canada. No option for just 5.

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks for the help.
Rookie,

I think you need to be a bit more sure of yourself. You can't find it anywhere in the rule book or case book? Then it is not there. The only way it could be 15 automatically if on the QB is by philosophy. Such a beast would have to be a rule, IMO.
