California rules

[nvfoa15]

refjet40,

I'm not sure what your questions are but here's my two cents worth.

1. Rule 7-5-2d Exception allows for the conservation of time by "spiking" the ball. A player must be in position to recieve a hand-to-hand snap (no shotgun) for this to be legal. The rest of the players can be anywhere they want as long as the 7 man line rule is accounted for,

2. Rule 8-5-2a Exception defines the momentum rule. This year the rules committee added backward passes and fumbles to the definition. The porpose of this rule is not to penalize the defense for a great play by having A score a safety (B would be responsible for the ball going into its EZ and being downed there).

3. Rule 10-5-3 and 8-3-4 straight forward and self explanitory.
