In the first series of overtime Team A scores and Team B is called for a facemask foul. Team A's options are: decline, assess on the PAT, or assess on Team B's series (which is the second half of the first overtime)?

However, if the same situation occurs during the second series of the first overtime the only options are declination or assessment on the PAT.

Do I understand this correctly?

Not according to what the others have posted. According to 8-2-2,&,3, the only options in either case are accept and replay,(dumb), decline, or assess on the PAT, because the wording specifically says, "subsequent kickoff" and there is no "subsequent kickoff" in OT.

Exactly. You can only enforce a defensive foul during an OT TD on the try because you can't enforce it on the subsequent kickoff.

You can enforce a foul during an OT FG to the succeeding spot which would be where the defense next snaps the ball. So it could be 1st and goal from the 15 or 20 or 25 or worse when B becomes A (depending on your state's OT rules).

I am convinced this is correct. no kickoff therefore fouls on TD can only be enforced on PAT.

If foul by B on successful try or FG in OT then have option of making "B" start 1st and goal form 15, 20 or 25 dpeening on the foul.

Okay. Thanks for straightening me out.

Now. About my competitive balance issue. (Which sounds like a medical condition.)

If, in the first "half" of an overtime, Team A scores a FG and Team B fouls, Team B will probably be facing a 1st and goal from the 15, 20, or 25. If, in the bottom "half" of the overtime, Team B scores a successful FG to tie the game, Team B could then choose to enforce the penalty at the succeeding spot. Which, depending on what team chooses what, could translate in to a 1st and goal from the 15, 20 or 25, or, perhaps the 5 should Team B wind up on defense the first "half" of the next overtime.

Is that a proper summation?

Right. If the FG ties the game after each team has a series then it's either going to be first and long for the offending team or first and short for the offended team.
