Great question! I had one of these earlier this year and I knew K wasn't allowed to touch it before 10 yards but as it happened I wasn't sure if I should flag it or bag it. Without thinking too much I dropped the bean bag at the spot of touching (also the spot of possession since the player jumped on the ball at that point). The kicking team coach was right behind me throughout the play and asked how I could possibly give the receiving team a "choice" if there was no flag. I was somewhat lucky to get the mechanic right but at least I knew the rule better than the coach (he wanted a foul that gave him the opportunity to re-kick). Experience is definitely the best teacher.
