What penalties kill the play

[BoBo]

Had someone ask what penalties do we call that kills the play before it starts.

Interesting but from a curious Friday night parent/fan. They said they had a bet with a friend one guy said there was only one and he thought he could only think of two.

Ones i came up with:

*false start on the offense

*encroachment on the defense

*illegal substitution (off or def)

*illegal snap/snap infraction (some may group that as false start)

*delay of game

*illegal equipment (i.e. mouth piece not in)

*unsportsmanlike penalty on player or non-player

Just running things thru mind so they may be more

Something we teach our flag football officials that are just beginning... (I run an intramural sports department):

Acronym F.I.E.L.D

False Start
Illegal Snap
Encroachment
Leaving the field improperly (Illegal Substitution)
Delay of Game

It's not all encompassing, but it does the basics.

NCAA has illegal signals from the defense (simulating the cadence of the O)
