You're right abou the and/or thing, but why aren't all three of the criteria met? They couldn't have really been simultaneous, if you think about it cosmologically, so the FDF fits.

Besides there are no provisions in the rule book for Simultaneous Fouls. It's not dealt with at all so the FDF is the best choice from what's available, isn't it?

Actually it is dealt with. While there is no definition of simultaneous fouls, it is referenced under 6-3-3g.

Does anyone have a rule book from '96-'97? I think that was the year that they put in the "AP on simultaneous fouls" rule. I do see from my '97-'98 book, that they had to add a definition for "Simultaneous T" because of a rule change in '96. I'd think that if they had added the "simultaneous T" definition, they would have put one in for "Simultaneous P" ...

Simultaneous Technicals were added in 97-98.

I'm not sure about my prowess but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!

Actually, I can't take credit. I had completely forgotten about this article about simultaneous fouls until Mark T. DeNucci mentioned it earlier in this post.

One of the best things about the Athletic Rules Study program is the Find feature found in the Rule Book help file. You can type in a phrase such as "Simultaneous Fouls" and the Find feature will tell you everywhere the phrase is found in the Rule Book. I copy the Rule Book and Cae Book to my hard drive and it's there anytime I want to pull something up. It makes a great study tool.
