All LOD means is the loss of the opportunity to repeat the same down after the penalty. So if it is 4th down and the line to gain is not achieved, then you give the ball to the defense/receiving team.

This is an excellent way of thinking about what LOD is.

When I train officials with a similar phrase, it helps make it clearer what the next down is for those certain fouls that carry the "LOD".

I think most here speak NFHS unless NCAA is stated.

International Federation of American Football (IFAF) is the international governing body of American football associations. Its headquarters are in La Courneuve, France, and its current president is Tommy Wiking. The IFAF oversees the IFAF World Championship of American Football, which is held every four years.

Basically the FIFA/FIBA of American football.
