1.IT IS LEGAL EQUIPMENT FOR A PLAYER TO WEAR A BANDANNA IF IT IS FULLY COVERED BY THE HELMET.]

### True: this annoying item is covered under 1-5-3-k. It is considered a uniform adormnent and must not be visible if worn.

2. IN OFFICIATING THE KICKING GAME, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT RULES TO UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY IS WHEN THE KICK ENDS. ]
|
### True. There are a lot of important rules in the kicking game. This is just one of them. See rule 6.

3.A PASS THROWN FROM THE 50 TOWARD THE B45, BUT BLOWN BACK BY THE WIND AND 1ST TOUCHED AT THE A45 IS A BACKWARD PASS.
|
### False: Back to definitions on this one. See 2-29-1 and 2-29-2. The initial direction is what matters.
Quote:
4. (4TH-6 AT 50) A1 RUNS TO THE B40 AND THROWS AN INCOMPLETE FORWARD PASS. IT WILL BE A 1ST DOWN FOR A AFTER THE PENALTY.
(I'm thinking false ,but I want to make sure)
|
### False: The penalty for this foul is 5 yards from the spot (the end of the run) and Loss Of Down. So inorder for Team-A to make a 1st down under normal conditions, they would have to make it to the B-44. They made it to the B-40, but after a 5 yard penalty, they are now back at the B-45... short of the line to gain. Now the LOD kicks in and Team-B takes over.
If Team-A would have made it to the B-38, after the penalty they would be at the B-43. This is beyond the Line to gain, they were awarded a 1st down and the LOD would not be applied.
Check this out in Rule-7
Good luck.
