Scrimmage Kick, kicked out of K's end zone

[ANewRef]

4th and 10 from K's 15 YL. Ball is snapped over K1's head and into End Zone. K1 chases ball into end zone and kicks the ball across endline. Safety...yes What is the proper sequence of events (bean bag, flag), options, and Rule Reference.

Thanks

Flag the spot of the kick. Ball is dead when it crosses the endline, give safety signal.

Penalty accepted - enforced from own end zone - safety. 10-5-4
Penalty declined - ball dead in K's own end zone not in player possession and K responsible for forcing it there - safety. 8-5-2b

Why flag the spot of the kick? What's the foul?

From the OP, it reads as if the "kicker" never recovered the bad snap and kicked the ball while it was loose ... Illegal Kick, Spot Foul

Illegal kicking... he didn't specify that he picked it back up and punted it, so I assume illegal kick.

He did not pick up the ball....simply kicked while it was rolling on ground in end zone.

I see. That's illegal.

So you asked about mechanics. Here are some:

1. Flag the spot of the foul (endzone).
2. Signal safety as the result of the play.
3. Offer choice to R:

a. take the result of the play, a safety

b. take the penalty, a safety (not much of a choice)

4. Have K free kick from their 20.
