CANADIAN RULING:
This is a 15-yard + AFD Unnecessary Roughness Penalty. Points of Application are among Point of Last Scrimmage (PLS), Point Ball Held (PBH), or Point Ball Dead (PBD), at A's option. Basically, A chooses what point is best for them. Since this was the last play of the quarter, A can choose to apply the foul at the beginning of the next quarter. If the foul is applied in the same quarter, yes, there is one more play.

Two questions here... does the clock start on the snap or on the ready for play? If the clock starts on the ready for play and A does not get a snap off before the clock expires, are they given an opportunity to run an untimed down?

CANADIAN RULING:
We're obviously under the 3-minute warning, so any penalty application causes the clock to start on the snap. B can decline the penalty to force the clock to start on the RFP, essentially assuring that this will be the last play. However, since 4 seconds would likely come off the clock no matter what type of play is run, A wil not have the opportunity to sneak in
two plays, therefore, B's best option is to accept the penalty, thereby forcing A to navigate those 5 extra yards to be successful.
