Force- Scrimmage, Try and OT
A fumbles and the ball is nearly at rest on the B 3 yard line. B applies a new force (let's not debate if its a new force or not, in this situation I've ruled that it is ) that puts that ball into B's endzone. B picks up and possess the ball in the end zone (B is not "down" when he possess is it).
What can happen during: a) a normal scrimmage down |

In a), play is still live. If B runs out of the EZ, spot of the end of the run. If B is downed in the EZ, safety. In b) and c), ball is dead upon B's possession. |

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? |

This is not B getting a safety against A (ie., running it back 97 yards) |
