I do not believe so. But then again the NFL does not have many 5 yard live ball fouls.

To emphasize the importance of the rule against personal fouls. Like, the personal fouls were such an issue, let's forget about the false start.

At least one major code takes that attitude regarding 5- & 15-yd. penalties for live ball fouls. How about extending it to dead ball fouls?

PLAY: A 3/3 from the B16 yard line. Player B-68 encroaches, after which B-79 and A-55 each commit DBPFs.

You want to ignore the encroachment & deprive A of a new series?

The NFL rule is that a "simple 5" penalty (5 yard penalty with no automatic first down / loss of down component) will not offset a 15 yard penalty committed by the other team.

More completely put, on a double foul with no COP, with a simple 5 yard penalty (no auto first/loss of down/10 second run off) and the other penalty being a major penalty (15 yards), the 5 yard penalty is disregarded and the 15 yard penalty is enforced from the previous spot. If this occurs on a scoring play, the score is canceled and the penalty is enforced from the previous spot. The combination can be dead/dead, live/live or live/dead.

Yes, the idea being that that's unimportant & can be forgotten about once there are major fouls.

That's ludicrous on it's face. A new series in the opponent's red zone could well be the difference between winning or losing. Certainly that trumps "major fouls".

Not necessarily. The 15 yds. are given out for stuff that either compromises safety or sportsmanship, so this'd be a statement that safety & sportsmanship are more important than winning or losing.

I still don't understand why the illegal formation on the kickoff is not live ball. Same as illegal formation on a play from scrimmage.

Because the Fed doesn't want this particular illegal formation play that contains a safety factor in their eyes legally getting off.

Unfortunately, that's not the reality. In actual game situations, most K players are well downfield and much contact has occurred by the time the whistle blows and the players react.

Giving R a "tack-on" option would lessen the numbers of rekicks as much, if not more, than keeping it a dead-ball foul.

If there is significant delay in blowing the whistles to kill the play BEFORE, "most K players are well downfield and much contact has occurred", perhaps the solution is working on quicker, and more obvious, reaction to the foul by the Free Kick Line officials.

At the interscholastic level there is greater incentive to shut plays down that are tainted by violations, rather than allow them to play out before subsequent correction. The FK lines buffer allows for minimizing, if not stopping, unnecessary contact, but does require immediate and dramatically noticeable reaction by officials.
