Force- Scrimmage, Try and OT

[PaulJak]

You guys got it.

I think its interesting that B doesn't have any opportunity to advance that ball out of the end zone on a try or in OT. Essentially once the ball enters B's end zone they can't do anything to get it out. If a kid picks it up and trys to do anything, A gets points.

In the OT, since A gets two points, now B only needs to kick a FG to win the game, or if B fails on their series, they lose even though A scored only because by rule the ball was declared dead. If that had occurred during regulation B would have been given the opportunity to advance out of their own end zone.

I don't know that I'd call it a loop hole in the rules, but it doesn't seem "fair" to deny B the opportunity to get it out of their own end zone. Does anybody have insight into the philosophy behind this set of rules?
