Interesting way to think about offsetting fouls

[JugglingReferee]

This hiccup could never happen with the Canadian ruleset.

B's FM is a 15y foul. There's no 5y variety in Canada. This is also a UR foul - the POA is up to the non-offending team: A.

B has to choose between A's BIB and A's hold. Since the BIB = 15y, and hold = 10y, B will decline the hold and accept the BIB.

The yardage from B's FM and A's BIB will offset, but A will earn an AFD. So it's A1D @ point ball held of the BIB.

Here's a way to solve this:
If A is the home team, wave off the facemask flag and make everybody happy, except B

If B is the home team, pretend that since there are more fouls on A than there were on B, you subtract the total yards penalized on A from the total yards penalized on B, (5 or 15 depending on the degree of the facemask) then you start at the 20 and go backwards.

If we can figure this out, then I can pass algebra!

Your abbreviations make no sense to me. What is UR?

On a different note: Thank goodness the NFHS has put in the 5 yard face mask.

Rich, don't speak Canadian, eh?

I'll venture a guess...

UR = Unnecessary Roughness

Oh, I've never thought of a facemask as unnecessary roughness, but then again I guess a 15 yard variety would be.


POA has me confused, too.

Bingo. We actually call it Point of (Penalty) Application.

It's interesting becuase anytime there are Fed or NCAA acronyms, I figure them out. Maybe not right away, but soon enough. Then agian, you guys don't see too many Cdn postings. (I'm not saying that I'm smarter, I am saying that there are more non-Cdn posts than Cdn posts.)
