NF play.

DevDog, because the down is replayed following the penalty, team A still has the option after the fair catch of putting the ball in play with either a snap or a free kick. In this case, they chose the free kick this time instead of a snap. Hope that clears it up. Maybe someone can word it better than this.

Always happy to help a fellow member (based on your basketball signature).

I still don't follow, sorry. Here's what I see happenening:

1) A makes a fair catch at his own 35. Boom, that play is over. 1st and 10 at the 35 for A.
2) On 1st down they throw a screen pass that goes to the B20 and there is a facemask which is a tack-on and takes it to the 10 yd line. It is now 1st and 10 for A there.
3) Now we have an illegal formation foul by A, penalized by a five yard penalty if accepted.
4) We cannot have a free kick after an awarded fair catch at this point because we had a play in between (screen pass play from scrimmage).
