dangit - i thought i was convinced until jumpmaster points out 10-5-3- which directly contradicts itself in the case book - situation B states that the penalty must be declined in order to award a touchdown. Then you go to situation D which states that the penalty may be accepted and the touchdown awarded.

I really think situation B is messed up - they don't give options on that play....

REPLY: GB...you're correct, and the Federation recognized their error.. On the NFHS website (look at "2004 Football Rules Interpretations") they tell you to delete Situation B form the Case Book.
