Block

[surehands]

Free kick from the K40 yard line. While ball is in the air, R56 blocks K42 below the waist at R's 30 yard line. R5 then catches the deep kick at the 5 yard line and advances the ball nearly 20 yards to the 24 yard line.
Can K accept the foul for blocking below the waist and re-kick from the 45 yard line?

CANADIAN RULING:

Block below the waist penalized from the Point of Possession (which is here).

Results: Team B 1D/10 @ B-2½. No option to re-kick.

Are Canada rules the same as US high School in this situation?

I'm a 1st year, but I'll give it a shot...

PSK foul and based on 10-5-3 the spot is where the PSK ends (or if behind the PSK spot it's a spot foul).

I'm sure that if I'm wrong others will correct me and give you the right answer.

Good try and you would be correct if this was a scrimmage kick situation. This is a free kick and we don't have the luxury of marking off penalties against R from the end of the kick. This foul occurred during a loose-ball so let's go from there and see what answer you have now.

Okay, if I could read it'd be helpful. I somehow missed the "Free" part of the "Free Kick."

So, let's try again...loose ball foul, enforced from previous spot, if accepted, and rekick from K30.

Cdoug..
The foul is on team-R.. If team-K wants to accept and rekick, it will not be from the K30 yard line.
The penalty for a BBW is 15 yards, so team-K would be teeing it up now from the R45 yardline.

So, the answer to the OP is: yes.
