1. Ball is placed at the 14 1/2 yard line and result of spot is a first down. (Half the distance since penalty is more then half the distance to goal)
2. The ball is placed at the 20 yard line and it is now 3rd down? Or do they replay the down?

Team A is punting. Player A enters the endzone while downing ball inside the 1 yard line. Is this a touch back?

Bison-Vikes #1 wrote:1. When is "half the distance to the goal" determined for penalties? Is it different when the offensive team is ready to score and when the offensive team is backed up against the goal? Thought it was used when the penalized distance is greater than the distance to goal. However, have noticed it used when this is not the case. Are there different factors to be taken into account? Do different penalties create different uses of the rule?
Bison-Vikes #1 wrote:2. Has the rule changed this year concerning personal fouls and automatic first downs? If so, could someone explain what the rule use to be and what it currently is.
Bison-Vikes #1 wrote:3. Also, (for any officials out there) are there any other "points of emphasis" this year and/or any other notable rule changes made.
Bison-Vikes #1 wrote:1. 2nd down and 10 yards to go, and the offense is at the 29 yard line going in. They throw a pass into the endzone and there is a defensive pass interference in the endzone. Where is the ball spotted?
Bison-Vikes #1 wrote:2. Same thing, but the QB had been sacked on first down. It is now 2nd down and 16 from the 35 with pass interference in the endzone. Where is the ball spotted and what down is it?

Yes, there is an exception. If the opposing team is directly responsible for the helmet coming off and flagged, then the player does not have to sit. Absent a flag on the ground, the player must sit.
If a no-helmet player does have to sit, the coach cannot "buy him back in" using a team timeout in high school.
