K40 punts to Rs 25 yard line; where R30 receives the ball.

R30 scores a TD.

What is the enforcement of the penalty if any?

CANADIAN RULING:

Minor fouls with the ball passed the LTG or on a return/COP are applied from Point Ball Held at the time if the foul and do not carry over to anywhere. R would decline K's hold to accept their score. Result: Team R touchdown.

CANADIAN RULING:

Minor fouls before the ball is in flight on a punt/FGA are applied from the Point of Last Scrimmage and do not carry over to anywhere. R would decline K's hold to accept their score. Result: Team R touchdown.
