Illegal Sub on a TD

[gtwbam]

In this example does A have the option to choose between taking the penalty for either the extra point or Kick-off? In the original post I thought the succeeding spot after the touchdown would be the try for extra point?

NFHS: New rule change.8-2-2 "When there is a foul by the opponent of the team scoring a touchdown, an enforcement option has been added. The offended team can accept the result of the play; choose to have the penalty enforced on the try; or choose to have the penalty enforcement on the free kick." Sounds like your situation meets this criteria.

I think the new rules applies to fouls that occur during the down, not the ones the occur with the snap.

Ed, I think Andy was saying the new rule applies during a live ball foul and not only one that is simultaneous with the snap. The IS in this play is a foul that is simultaneous with the snap, but if instead the player came onto the field of play “after the snap” (live ball foul) we would have an IP foul, which could also be carried over.

O-K this is a foul during the down, that is a live ball foul. 3-7-4 Penalty

Yes Ed they are both live ball fouls, but it is very different if it is a live ball foul during the down or a live ball foul simultaneous with the snap. If there is a LB during the down it will be a BS enforcement but if it is simultaneous with the snap it will be a PS enforcement. Big difference!
