From everything that I have read of you guys quoting the example from Mikes post

1/10 Team A's ball on the A-20. A32 runs for 15 to the A-35. A78 is called for holding at the A-36. Down and distance after the penalty? 2 and 5 at the A-25
Would be correct
But if you change it to where A32 runs for 25 to the A-45
A78 is called for holding and then there is a dead ball personal foul on A also. Wouldn't it then be 1/25 from the A-20

Or am I just really confused
LOL , yes you're a little confused . But don't worry about it Poosh . I been doing this for three years now and I'm still very confused 8^) . Here's how I look at this 1/10 bussness . The only time you're going to have a 1/25 is when you have give A a 1/10 ,then set the chains blow the ready and then A commits a dead ball foul . If someone can come up with another example I'd love to hear it .
The chances of a having an unsportsmanlike or a dead ball personal after the ready-for-play and before the snap are highly unlikely since the time between the ready and the snap cannot be by rule more than 25 seconds.

You can and will get 1st and 15 from a false start but major penalties are rare in that 25 second interval.
