Four contestants join us to take the Rule 11 Challenge.   Each contestant will work through a play scenario and attempt to come up with the correct results.  Its a great opportunity for all of us to review some confusing rules.  Thank you to our four contestants, Guilherme, Tremain, Kevin and Taylor, for being good sports.

1.  A 4/9 @ 50, A9 punts, the kick bounces at the B-20 and hits A1 in the back of the leg at the B-16. B1 recovers the kick at the B-10 and runs to the B-30 where he fumbles. A2 scoops and scores following B1’s fumble.  

• Scenario A. B3 holds during the kick at the B-35 
• Scenario B. B3 blocks in the back at the B-24 during B1’s run
• Scenario C. B3 holds during A2’s run at the B-20

2. A 4/8 @ 50, A6 punts, B1 signals for a fair catch at the B-15. B1 let’s the ball go over his head. As the ball is over B’s GL A1 bats the ball back into the field of play. B2 then picks up the ball at the B-4 and returns the ball to the B-16 where he is tackled. 

• Scenario A. B1 blocks A2 @ the B-18 during the kick
• Scenario B. A1 went OOB during the kick play to avoid B2

3. A 2/8 B-34. A7's pass is intercepted at the B-3 by B20. His original momentum carries him into his EZ. A80 tackles B20 in the EZ by grabbing and twisting his face mask. B20 stands up and spins the ball on the ground next to A80. 

Scenario B:  A80 grabs and twists B20's facemask causing him to fumble the ball into the field of play.  A55 recovers at the B-4 

4. A Try B-3. A9 throws a pass that is intercepted in the end zone by B0.  B0 is about to be tackled in the endzone when he pitches the ball to B22 who is standing at the B-1.  B22 runs the ball across A's goal line. During the return, B55 blocks A66 below the waist at the 50 yard line.

Scenario B: B55 commits an illegal blindside block against A66 at the 50 yd and then stands over him pounding his chest.  All of this action occurs with the ball carrier at the A-20.
