What exactly do you do with an R foul that occurs during a try or unsuccessful FG attempt in OT? Is that covered elsewhere? In NCAA rules, such a foul reverts to previous spot enforcement. Do the new NF rules clarify that?? As you said, probably a lot of editorial revision still required.

Bob M., you think of everything -- an unsuccessful FG during OT!
5-1-2 under Resolving Tied Games states:
When the defensive team gains possession of the ball, the down and the series immediately end for the offensive team.
My personal interpretation is if a PSK foul occurs, B will still gain possession of the ball on an unsuccessful field goal attempt.
Rule 8-3-5 covers trys:
...If during a successful try, a foul by B occurs, A is given the choice of:
a. Accepting the penalty and replaying the down following enforcement; or,
b. Accepting the result of the play and enforcement of the penalty from the succeeding spot.
