Andy-
Let me take a stab at clarifying this for you.
Because...
8-4-3
If during a
successful field goal, a foul by R occurs, K is given the choice of:
a) Accepting the penalty and replaying the down following enforcement; or
b) Accepting the result of the play and enforcement of the penalty from the
succeeding spot.
and...
3-3-4a
A period shall not be extended by an untimed down if during the last timed down of the period, one of the following occurs:
a) When the defense fouls during a successful try/field goal and the offended team accepts the result of the play with enforcment of the penalty from the
succeeding spot.
So...
If this foul occurs as time expires during any period and the offended captain chooses option "a"
the period is extended for an untimed down as per rule
3-3-3a
Likewise...
If this foul occurs as time expires during any period and the offended captain chooses option "b" we enforce the penalty from
the succeeding spotas per rule
3-3-4a
Furthermore...
If during a
successful try, a foul by R occurs, K is given the choice of:
a) Accepting the penalty and replaying the down following enforcement; or
b) Accepting the result of the play and enforcement of the penalty from the
succeeding spot.
So...
If this foul occurs during a try with no time remaining in
any period and the offended captain chooses option "a"
the period is extended for an untimed down as per rule
3-3-3a
Likewise...
If this foul occurs during a try with no time remaining in
any period and the offended captain chooses option "b," the penalty is enforced from
the succeeding spotas per rule
3-3-4a
Now for the new rule...
IF during a touchdown scoring play in which there is no change of possession, a foul by the opponents occurs, the scoring team may accept the results of the play and have the penalty enforced from the
succeeding spot or may choose to have the foul enforced on the
ensuing kickoff.
So...
If the offended captain chooses to have the penalty enforced on the try we follow
succeeding spot enforcment procedures.
If, however the offended captain chooses to have the penalty enforced on the "ensuing kickoff"
we shall extend the period for an untimed kickoff.
I hope this helps...
