This is a situation that reminds us that we need to know our Definitions. What really is this situation: A False Double Foul!

First Foul: B32's CF against A14.

Second Foul: A14 and B32's DTF.

How are FDFs adjudicated. The are Charged and Penalized in the order in which they occurred with the Ball returned to Play as if the Last Foul in the FDF was the only Foul:

1a) If A14's TF did not cause A14 to become Disqualified, then A14 will attempt his/her 2 FTs with the Spaces along the FT Lane unoccupied because the Ball will become Dead and remain Dead after the last FT regardless of whether or not it is successful.

1b) If A14's TF did cause A14 to become Disqualified, then A14's Substitute will attempt A14's 2 FTs with the Spaces along the FT Lane unoccupied because the Ball will become Dead and remain Dead after the last FT regardless of whether or not it is successful.

2) The Ball will be put into Play by a Designated Spot Throw-in by the Team that has the AP Arrow from one of the 8 'Designated Spot Throw-in Throw-in Spots' (Yes, that is the name that I have given those eight spots and I know that Billy is laughing every time I use that name, lol.) closest to the Spot where the DTF occurred.
