Previous spot fouls should be enforced, not just from the previously yardline, but the actual spot on that yardline where the ball was last snapped or kicked.

Tip for Umpires:
I purchased Honig's "slide" down indicator. It is a wrist band with numbers 1-4 on it and a plastic marker that slides across the strap. When I'm on the field I wear it on my left wrist, because there is no finger strap to interfere with my finger whistle. The 1 is the left hash, 2 is left upright, 3 is right upright and 4 is right hash. Adjusting the slide between numbers helps me keep 7 positions for the ball between the hash marks.

I previously use the normal "finger" down indicator, but had problems placing the strap on fingers with my whistle. I keep downs on my right wrist and ball position on my left.
