I recently participated in a game where there was a questionable call in a very close game. The rules are the same as NFL but if the rule is different or the same in NCAA or HS then please let me know also.
Team A was going for a field goal at the 25 yard line and Team B blocks it. Team B picks up the ball and runs it back to the 40 yard line before fumbling it. Team A recovers it on the 45 yard line. Is it team A's ball where they recovered it or is a single position and it's team B's ball? Where would the ball be placed? |

REPLY: Just to follow up on JugglingReferee's comments about Canadian football, Fed and NCAA are different. For both Federation and NCAA, the clock would next start on the snap.

I'm not understanding why this is a questionable call. In all levels, it's A's ball at the 45. The only difference between rules regard whether the clock starts on the snap or on the ready (or stops at all for that matter).

Once team B established possession a new series will be awarded whatever team is in posssession at the end of the down (barring any accepted foul). This holds for all levels.
So your HS refs should have known this. [Edited by Jim S on Sep 1st, 2004 at 03:43 AM]
