Timing question

[ajmc]

Just my guess, but I would think your assessment of starting the clock on the subsequent snap is correct because NF: 6-5-3 advises, "Only the receiver who gives a valid signal is afforded protection. If, after a receiver signals, the catch is made by a teammate, it is not a FC but the ball becomes dead."

It is the act of catching the kick (after a valid FC signal) that causes the clock to stop.

I'm just a fan here, but aren't all four of these an "apparent change of possession"--meaning we start on the snap?

Part of the problem here (and the reason not many are answering this) is that the poster did not post the ruleset being used here. The answer is actually different depending on what level we're playing at.

I assumed it was NFHS due to him using Team K and Team R. NCAA does not use K and R. Only A and B.

Clock stopped because there was a change of possession and would have started on the snap in all 4 instances. With or without the foul, I believe the clock would start on the snap for the next play regardless of penalty acceptance.

True, I left out a big part. Sorry about that. NFHS rules is what I'm talking about here.
