On the snap, or on the ready??

CANADIAN RULING:

When you say the 50, you are claiming that the LS is mid-field. In the Cdn game, mid-field is the 55, so I will adjust the situation accordingly.

RTP is a UR foul, which on a forward pass can be applied at PLS or PBD.

1. At PLS: PLS + 15y + AFD = A 1D/10 @ B-40.
2. At PBD: PBD - 15y = B 1D/10 @ Point tackled - 15 yards.

In either case, the clock will start:

• Before the 3 minute warning: on the ready
• After the 3 minute warning: on the snap, as we had (1) penalty application and (2) penalty application or change of possession
