NFL:

The Referee may award a touchdown when a palpably unfair act...
The Referee could award three points for a palpably unfair act...

The defense shall not commit sucessive or continued fouls to prevent a score.
Penalty: For continuous fouls to prevent a score: If the violation is repeated after a warning, the score involved is awarded to the offensive team.

NCAA:

The referee may take any action he considers equitable, including...awarding a score...

NFHS:

The referee enforces any penalty he considers equitable, including the award of a score....Repeated fouls (Art. 2) - the game may be forfeited.

forgot about the palpably. ya, i was thinking about like if a receiver went up for a catch in the end zone, and the defender just grabbed him by the face mask and ripped him down, not allowing him to catch it or something. basically, i was thinking of scores being awarded on regular plays, which don't happen. also, when asking questions or making statements, i don't consider high school to be in the conversation when discussing rules, as you can tell (you did mention the palpably in the nfl though). 99% of the time, people aren't talking about high school in regards to anything sports related, let alone rules. i can't remember the last time one of my friends was like "hey did you see that high school game on public access?". not even when i was going to high school did i hear about high school football.

btw, many people ask questions in the form of statements. i'm one of them. for instance, "what? they can't do that!" could possibly mean "they can't do that from what i know, but if somebody knows different, tell me." this is in the same boat as using absolute statements when you really don't mean them literally, such as "i never make mistakes while driving". i'm clarifying this because some people are really immature and love to insult others on the web, so they use every little thing they can against a person.

We've gone over this before. The vast vast majority of members on this forum work nothing higher than high school games. If you ask a question on here you are going to get NFHS (high school) responses. If you post on here then you must change your view of the rules. I would say more than 90% of the posts on here deal with NF rules, about 9% deal with NCAA rules, and the other 1% are split between Canadian rules and NFL.

And another 0.2% miscellaneous like AFA. It's not a non-random sample here, just that a lot more games are played by Fed rules than those others.

i'm aware of this, but where else would i go that isn't filled with teens, and where they have nfl and nba sections on the same forum? and i'm sure most of you watch major sports, i mean how could you not, so at the very least i'm discussing sports with adults.

Isn't this was Google is for? I am sure most here would not know or care. Most here are interested in talking plays from an officiating perspective. Talking to fans is very frustrating and pointless in many cases.

well people will have to agree to disagree with me then, because to me, an OFFICIATING forum is the place to discuss rules and plays from any league. on the main page, it doesn't say 'high school basketball', it just says 'basketball'. same for all the other sports. if it said the former, i wouldn't have joined. and yes, i did use google, to find this place. the reason why it's mostly high school is simply because you're not going to find nba/nfl/nhl/mlb refs discussing things on forums. i don't know why, you just won't, at least not nearly as much as other "regular" people like you guys.

btw, to the guy above me, i like your signature. took me a second to get it, but now i got it.

What is wrong with you Pack. First you make a statement that shows you have no knowledge of the rules. Then when you are proven wrong at all levels of the sport, you move on to disparaging high school sports.

Tell me how you were "asking a question in the form of a statement" in this case?
