Canadian Ruling

It apears that the Canadian rules allow for no major issues with these situations.

1. The A hold would be enforced from PLS. Assuming that the hold occured in the EZ while the ball was in the EZ, there is no safety and the penalty is enforced from the B20. So B should decline the A foul and take possession on the B10 (Team A would of course accept to nullify the TD) and will have one more play to try and score.

2. An illegal fwd pass is enforced as L10 and down repeated. So B's best play would be to accept the penalty forcing A to take another snap on the A1. Declining the penalty would end the game.

3. The penalty for intentional grounding from the EZ is a safety. Since the result of the play was an incomplete pass B would want to decline and accept the play which would give team B possession on downs. (Why in the U.S. rules is it not an incomplete pass if the foul is declined - that is the result of the play is it not?)

4. We would have two fouls on the play: Restraining Zone foul (hitting a player trying to catch a punt) and Rough Play (vicious hit on a punt receiver). The first is 15 yards and the second is 25 yards. So this would give team R 1st and 10 at the R50. We have no free kick provisions so the best that A could have is another down at the B1.5 yard line.
