WarTiger 3,916 Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 ok...little more challenging this time... No answers provided... You provide the ruling. There is one true false question....enjoy..will post answers in a few days. B1 attempts to catch a punt (no fair catch signal) that crosses the neutral zone and strikes his shoulder (a muff) and bounces into the air. The ball does not touch the ground and airborne A1 receives the ball in flight and first returns to the ground out of bounds. As the flow of the play moves to the left, right tackle A77 is disengaging from his contact with B50 when A27 blocks B50 at his knee. Third and 10. A21 catches a forward pass and fumbles when tackled after gaining 10 yards. The fumble is recovered by grounded A24 five yards in advance of the fumble. During the pass, the passer is roughed. After the ready-for-play signal, substitute B12 enters the huddle or defensive formation and the departing player delays more than three seconds before leaving the huddle or formation and departing the field of play. Fourth and 16 at the 50-yard line. At the snap, B1 is offside. Team A advances the ball to the 30-yard line and fumbles. During the loose ball, an inadvertent whistle is sounded. Snapper A1 snaps the ball before the official declares the ball ready for play. A2 muffs the snap and B1 recovers the ball. . A1 interferes with B1’s opportunity to catch a kick when a scrimmage kick fails to cross the neutral zone. True or False - The Catch of an opponents fumble is a recovery. Is there a difference between a muff and a fumble....if so, what is it?? B1 signals and does not touch a punt, but while the untouched ball is loose in the field of play, he blocks an opponent 1. more than three yards beyond the neutral zone or 2. in the receiver’s end zone. Are the blocks legal? If not, what is the penalty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball does not touch the ground and airborne A1 receives the ball in flight and first returns to the ground out of bounds. Team B's ball where it went out of bounds. As the flow of the play moves to the left, right tackle A77 is disengaging from his contact with B50 when A27 blocks B50 at his knee. Illegal block Third and 10.

Illegal substitution Fourth and 16 at the 50-yard line. At the snap, B1 is offside. Team A advances the ball to the 30-yard line and fumbles. During the loose ball, an inadvertent whistle is sounded. Guessing....1st and 10 at 20 if Team A recovered??? Snapper A1 snaps the ball before the official declares the ball ready for play. A2 muffs the snap and B1 recovers the ball. TEchnically no play as occured...Right?? . A1 interferes with B1’s opportunity to catch a kick when a scrimmage kick fails to cross the neutral zone. no penalty live ball True or False - The Catch of an opponents fumble is a recovery. True Is there a difference between a muff and a fumble....if so, what is it?? Yes...fumble is when a player has possession and looses the football....a muff is for instance, a punter missing the snap, or player trying pick up a fumble, or a punt glancing off a shoulder pad B1 signals and does not touch a punt, but while the untouched ball is loose in the field of play, he blocks an opponent 1. more than three yards beyond the neutral zone or 2. in the receiver’s end zone.

KunzelTiger 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 B1 attempts to catch a punt (no fair catch signal) that crosses the neutral zone and strikes his shoulder (a muff) and bounces into the air. The ball does not touch the ground and airborne A1 receives the ball in flight and first returns to the ground out of bounds. Team B's ball where the ball went out As the flow of the play moves to the left, right tackle A77 is disengaging from his contact with B50 when A27 blocks B50 at his knee. legal block, I think. If A27 did this down field it would be an illegal block below the waist. I guess I'm assuming that A77 is still at the line. Third and 10. A21 catches a forward pass and fumbles when tackled after gaining 10 yards. The fumble is recovered by grounded A24 five yards in advance of the fumble. During the pass, the passer is roughed. 1st and 10 Team A, 30 yards down field (10 for the catch, 5 on the fumble recovery, 15 roughing the passer) After the ready-for-play signal, substitute B12 enters the huddle or defensive formation and the departing player delays more than three seconds before leaving the huddle or formation and departing the field of play. Illegal Substitution. 5 yard penalty Fourth and 16 at the 50-yard line. At the snap, B1 is offside. Team A advances the ball to the 30-yard line and fumbles. During the loose ball, an inadvertent whistle is sounded. Ball is dead when whistle is blown. Team A can either repeat fourth down at the 45 or by declining the offside they have the ball 1st and 10 at the 30. Snapper A1 snaps the ball before the official declares the ball ready for play. A2 muffs the snap and B1 recovers the ball. Play is dead. 5 yard penalty on the offense, retry kick A1 interferes with B1’s opportunity to catch a kick when a scrimmage kick fails to cross the neutral zone. Kick catch interference True or False - The Catch of an opponents fumble is a recovery. True Is there a difference between a muff and a fumble....if so, what is it?? A muff is when the ball is touched on a punt and no control was established the kicking team cannot advance the muffed ball but does gain possesion. A fumble is when control is established and the ball is lost. The kicking team can advance the ball B1 signals and does not touch a punt, but while the untouched ball is loose in the field of play, he blocks an opponent 1. more than three yards beyond the neutral zone or 2. in the receiver’s end zone.

Guest Tigrinum Major Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 kinda like faking being fouled in basketball...I know in the 17 years I officiated basketball, i never saw that called either...maybe Major has seen it called in bball... 210621[/snapback] Nope. Well, not correctly. The penalty for that (technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct) is too severe and therefor it is rarely called. I have seen a player with a legal guarding position "flop" on minimal conduct and get charged with a blocking (common) foul. When you explain to the coach that he deserved a tech, they usually shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarTiger 3,916 Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 ok....gonna post answers to the previous batch either today or tomorrow...then i'll work on some more...

WarTiger 3,916 Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 ANSWERS ADDED BELOW B1 attempts to catch a punt (no fair catch signal) that crosses the neutral zone and strikes his shoulder (a muff) and bounces into the air. The ball does not touch the ground and airborne A1 receives the ball in flight and first returns to the ground out of bounds. RULING: Team B’s ball at the spot where the ball crossed the sideline. First and 10. As the flow of the play moves to the left, right tackle A77 is disengaging from his contact with B50 when A27 blocks B50 at his knee. RULING: Chop block. Basic-spot enforcement. Previous-spot enforcement if the foul occurs behind the neutral zone. Third and 10. A21 catches a forward pass and fumbles when tackled after gaining 10 yards. The fumble is recovered by grounded A24 five yards in advance of the fumble. During the pass, the passer is roughed. RULING: Penalize 15 yards from the spot of recovery by A24 (end of last run), first down for Team A. After the ready-for-play signal, substitute B12 enters the huddle or defensive formation and the departing player delays more than three seconds before leaving the huddle or formation and departing the field of play. RULING: Violation of the substitution rule. Dead-ball foul. (Note: The referee is not required to warn a departing player to leave the huddle immediately.) Fourth and 16 at the 50-yard line. At the snap, B1 is offside. Team A advances the ball to the 30-yard line and fumbles. During the loose ball, an inadvertent whistle is sounded. RULING: Team A may refuse the penalty and put the ball in play on the 30-yard line, first and 10. Snapper A1 snaps the ball before the official declares the ball ready for play. A2 muffs the snap and B1 recovers the ball. RULING: Dead-ball foul. Penaltyâ€â€Five yards from the succeeding spot, Team A’s ball. The ball does not become alive, and all action should be stopped immediately by the game officials. A1 interferes with B1’s opportunity to catch a kick when a scrimmage kick fails to cross the neutral zone. RULING: Interference with the opportunity to catch a kick does not apply, and all players are eligible to touch, recover and advance the ball. Therefore, any player legally may push an opponent in an actual attempt to get at the ball; but no player may hold an opponent to prevent his reaching the ball or in an attempt to permit a teammate to reach it (Rules 9-1-2-d Exception 3 and 9-3-3-c Exception 3). True or False - The Catch of an opponents fumble is a recovery... FALSE Is there a difference between a muff and a fumble....if so, what is it?? YES - a fumble is after possesssion is established.. A Muff - is without possession..ex. a player back to return a punt, has the ball bounce off his chest and hits the ground..he never possessed it, so its a muff.. B1 signals and does not touch a punt, but while the untouched ball is loose in the field of play, he blocks an opponent 1) more than three yards beyond the neutral zone or 2) in the receiver’s end zone. Are the blocks legal? If not, what is the penalty? RULING: 1) If the ball crosses the neutral zone and Team B has possession when the down ends, Team B is penalized 15 yards from the postscrimmage kick enforcement spot. 2) Safety. The ruling is the same on an unsuccessful field goal attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger in Spain 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I got 6 this time. Good stuff! Thanks again, P'cola. BTW, I am looking into getting my HS football certification. I have been in contact with the high school officials association here and I'm trying to get a feel for my schedule before I commit. I don't want to overload myself with work, college classes, and officiating. I volunteered this past season with the down marker and chains and had a blast. It was good to get involved with football again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
