SITUATION 6: Prior to the ball being thrown during a play in which A1 catches a touchdown pass and advances for a touchdown, B1 holds A2 to prevent him from going out for a pass on the side away from the play. When given options, A elects to enforce the defensive holding foul on the ensuing kickoff. During the successful two-point try, B1 is guilty of holding A1. Does A have the option of having the 10 yard penalty added on to the previous 10-yard foul on the ensuing kickoff?




-------------------------------------------



RULING: No. If the captain chooses free-kick enforcement for both the foul on the touchdown and on the try, the captain must choose which of the two live ball fouls to have enforced. Because A chose to have the first foul enforced on the kick instead of the try, it has created a situation where subsequent fouls during the try may have the possibility of not being enforced with respect to yardage.
