Lightbulb Candian Ruling

[You do have too much time on your hands.]

Ruling:

Team B can accept only one of the listed non-Objectionable Conduct fouls and the best one to pick is the OPI at 15 yards. The OC will be tacked on after all other penalties.

Team A can accept one of the listed non-OC and non-UR penalties. I am going to assume that the DPI was a 15 yard version. They can also have BOTH the UR fouls since you can add as many of those as you like. So they can accept the roughing the passer and the face mask.

So the OPI and the DPI saw off evenly. This leaves two URs against B which are enforced consecutively to half the distance twice which puts the ball at the 2.5 yard line. It is also an automatic first down since there was no A URs.

Now the OC is applied after all other fouls. This moves the ball to the 12.5 yard line.

So we have Team A 1st and 10 at the B 12.5.

So even though Team B was guilty of 15+15+15=45 yards worth of accepted penalties and Team was only guilty of 15+10=25 yards of accepted penalties, due to restrictions near the goal line and order of enforcement, Team A loses 2.5 yards!
