What if???
My football crew met up with another crew tonight, at a local watering hole, and they said that they had this play. B55 encroachment and the Line Judge threw a flag, but did not shut down the play, during the play A10 blocked in the back. How is this enforced? Do you ignore the block in the back since the play should not have been run? Is there something in the rule book that give direction on this play?

Slap the LJ upside the head first of all.
Not sure how you can do anything with an encroachment when the LJ never shut the play down. That would kill the play. And I do not consider a BIB a safety foul, so it is not like you have to stick with that call. Bottom line, slap the LJ upside the head or get another one. Peace

Is there rule support as how to officiate this play? Or is it just up to the Referee? I would be leaning towards enforcing both, because the play did run and both fouls did occur.

Encroachment is ALWAYS a dead ball foul and ALWAYS prevents the ball from ever becoming live.
It is not possible to enforce a Dead Ball BIB foul, since, technically, it did not occur. Therefore, absent of a Personal Foul, enforce the encroachment and move on. The Rules Book support you are looking for simply does not exist! The Line Judge made an officiating error. Now you are suggesting penalizing a team due to an officials inability to understand a BASIC rule. Their would never be Rules Book support for such a suggestion.

The lesson is know when to stop the play. Like KWH says, you cannot have both fouls if one kills the play. A BIB would not be relevant if the play was already dead and if the contact was not a personal foul. Otherwise I would not even think about the BIB. The line judge screwed up, plain and simple. He has to learn from this and move on.

Agreed, and make him go with the R to explain why the BIB isn't being enforced and why he didn't blow it dead.
It happens. I assume this was a sub-varsity level game since "tonight" = Thursday? Better to learn there than Friday.
