But what is the definition of a down?
SECTION 7 DOWN – LOSS OF DOWN
ART. 1 . . . A down is action which starts with a legal snap (beginning a
scrimmage down) or when the ball is kicked on a free kick (beginning a free-kick down). A down ends when the ball next becomes dead.
Did we have a legal snap? Yup Did the ball next become dead? Yup
The down occurred. Repeating it is a part of the penalty assessment
