this is exactly what i was thinking. if it was enforced how i thought it was, why not just get a jump on the snap every time, you only have 1 yard to lose. i now see why they have an option.

what about awarding a score? are you saying that would be another option? because you can't "award" a score in any level of football, that would be retarded. what would the rule be, you get a penalty with the ball inside the 6 inch line and it's automatic? pfft.
