WarrenKicker,

My apologies, in my haste to answer the question, I obviously made an *ss of myself. The point I was trying to make (which I still think I'm right) was that the period does need to be extended for the kickoff - IF THE OFFENDED TEAM DOESN'T WANT TO ENFORCE THE PENALTY ON THE TRY. Their options are to decline the penalty (so as not to allow the other team a possibility to score), or have an untimed KO as part of the second quarter. And the fact that the Try is an untimed down doesn't seem to matter, to me because this does not conotate an "extension" of the period. This play (the Try) would occur regardless of the foul on the previous scrimmage play or not.

(Still embarrassed for making myself look like an idiot)
