1.After Team K snaps from the 50-yard line, R45 fields K2's punt at his 14-yard line and returns it to his 35-yard line. While the kick is in flight, R62 clips at his 20-yard line.

(1) PSK enforcment!
Penalty, (clipping 15 yards) is enforced half the distance from basic spot (which is the PSK spot at the R14 yard line) as the spot of the foul is AHEAD of the basic spot.
1st and ten for R (now A) on the R7 yard line!


2.From Team R's 40-yard line, Team K punts and the kick enters Team R's end zone. During the kick, R66 holds at Team R's: (a) 12 yard line, or (b) 28-yard line.

(2a) PSK enforcment!
Penalty (holding 10 yards) is enforced half the distance from the spot of the foul (as the spot of the foul is BEHIND the basic spot.) Remember, since the kick went into the endzone the basic spot is the K20!
1st and ten for R (now A) on the R6 yard line!

(2b) PSK enforcment!
Penalty (holding 10 yards) is enforced half the distance from the basic spot (as the spot of the foul is AHEAD of the basic spot.) Remember, since the kick went into the endzone the basic spot is the K20.
1st and ten for R (now A) on the R10 yard line!


3.Fourth and five from Team R's 24-yard line. While a field goal attempt is in flight beyond the expanded neutral zone, R46 grasps and twists K23's facemask at the 16-yard line. The kick is: (a) successful, (b) unsuccessful and goes out of bounds at the six yard line, or (c) unsuccessful after entering Team R's end zone.

(3a) This is not a PSK enforcment situation, rather it is a foul by the opponent of the scoring team and therefore under 2003 rules K has two options:

(Option 1) Take the field goal and the 3 points and have the 15 yard penalty enforced from the succeeding spot (the kicking teams 40 yard line,) meaning K will kick off from the R45!

or.....

(Option 2) Take the 3 points off the board and accept the penalty. Since the penalty occured during a loose ball/scoring play the foul will be enforced half the distance from the previous spot making the situation:
1st and 10 for K (now A) on the R12 yard line.

(3b) PSK enforcment!
Basic spot is the R6 (as this is where the kick ended)
Foul occured AHEAD of the basic spot so enforce the penalty half the distance from the basic spot making the situation:
1st and 10 for R (now A) at the R3 yard line!

(3c) PSK enforcment!
Basic spot is the R20 as the kick ended in R's endzone.
R's foul occured BEHIND the basic spot and therefore the foul is enforced half the distance from the spot of the foul making the situation:
1st and 10 for R (now A) at the R8!



Remember these are 2003 rules, they have not been published and therefore are subject to change!!!
...but probably not much!
