We use penalty mechanics very similar to what HLin NC describes:
> 1st priority is the dead ball spot; we make sure that it is covered.
> Next we make sure that the flag is covered. Sometimes that gets tricky based on which official called the foul.
> Hopefully the U (with the next football) and calling official are free to meet with the R to determine enforcement
> U moves to enforcement spot and waits for HL to move to corresponding spot on sideline and signals 1 finger for 5 yds, 2 fingers for 10 yds, 3 fingers for 15 yds and crossed arms for half the distance penalties.
> U and HL walk off the appropriate yardage
> If possible, the LJ will stand at the “enforcement yard line” until the U and HL confirm the ball has been placed at the correct yard line.
It may sound like a lot of unnecessary movement, but it actually moves quite smooth. And to agree with HLin NC, there are no water breaks in this “checks and balance system.”
