Nice info but not the answer to the question. As stated above, no untimed down. Kickoff to start the next period.

This is not a penalty during an untimed down at the end of the period. This is the choice given to A when a penalty on B occurs during a successful try. A has the option to take the penalty and replay the down if they want to try for 2 points.

Rule 3-3-4 states: "A period shall not be extended by an untimed down if during the last timed down of the period, one of the following occurs:

a. When the defense fouls during a successful try/field goal and the offended team accepts the results of the play with enforcement of the penalty from the succeeding spot.

The option for A is to accept the penalty and replay the try or enforce the penalty on the succeeding kickoff.
