During our summer adult league season, we use NF rules modified with the NCAA defensive offside and kicks going into R's endzone rules. Both work well. The last game we had defensive offside at the snap on an extra point. Line judge throws his flag, withholds whistle, kick is good. Referee explains options to offensive team who declines the penalty and takes the points.

I believe the only reason why the NF has not changed the rule is because encroachment enforced as a dead ball foul is much easier to enforce. However, good officials can be easily retrained and its another positive move to bring the NF rules more in line with NCAA.
