I agree with Mike. We either have offsetting fouls or one deadball PF.

If you are ruling illegal bat, shouldn't you have one live ball foul and one dead ball foul, enforcing them in order of occurrence?

I don't believe we can combine a live ball foul and a dead ball foul for a double foul. 10.2.5

[PA-28-181]

A lines up for a field goal. A1 knee on the ground in position to receive the snap and A2 in position to kick. The snapper mistakenly

snaps the ball to the kicker who essentially "sets" (volleyball) the ball to the holder
9-7-ART. 3 . . . Any pass in flight may be batted in any direction, by an eligible
receiver unless it is a backward pass batted forward by the passing team.

who catches the ball with his knee still on the ground and then rises and rolls right and throws a pass to A8 who catches the ball in the and zone AND is then tackled by the face mask.

Dead ball foul 9-4-ART. 3 . . . No player or nonplayer shall:h. Grasp an opponent’s face mask, any edge of a helmet opening or the chin
strap.

Mike is right, one live one dead enforce in the order of occurrence
