Foul on scoreing play
Can the penalty be accessed on the kickoff?
|
Short answer, yes.
Long answer, 8-2-2 If an opponent of the scoring team commits a foul (other than unsportsmanlike conduct on a nonplayer foul) during a down in which a touchdown is scored and there was not a change in possession during the down, A may accept the results of the play and choose enforcement of the penalty: a. On the try, or b. On the subsequent kickoff. 8-2-3 If an opponent of the scoring team commits a foul (other than unsportsmanslike conduct on a nonplayer foul) during a down in which a touchdown is scored and there was a change of possession during the down, and such foul occurs after the change of possession, the scoring team may accept the results of the play and choose enforcement of the penalty: a. On the try, or b. On the subsequent kickoff. 8-2-4 If either team commits an unsportsmanlike conduct or a nonplayer foul during a down in which a touchdown is scored, the opponent may accept the results of the play and choose enforcement of the penalty: a. On the try, or b. On the subsequent kickoff. 8-2-5 If after a down in which a touchdown is scored, and prior to the initial ready-for-play signal for the try, either team commits any foul for which the basic spot is the succeeding spot, the offended team may accept the penalty and choose enforcement of the penalty:a. On the try, or b. On the subsequent kickoff. |
