| 2009-10-20 | Brian | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks for the come back, I looked it up in the federation case book. yes the play should be whistled dead imeaditly when the holder's knee is on the ground when he flips the ball backwards. |

| 2009-07-30 | Buck | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks a lot for the info. His mom is now a little more worried about this season and injuries, but I'm still under the impression that they won't be doing all out tackleing with his age group. They seperate the kids into A B and C teams by age and size and he will be on C team, which is the youngest kids. So I hope they will be taking it easy and focousing more on the fundimentals than playing " Kill the QB" like hich school kids are encourged to do around here. LOL |

| 2008-11-07 | Bob Coffman | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thx for your quick response. I know in pro this would be called a continuos play and an automatic first down for the original team even though he did not make the first down but I wasn't bfor sure for High school so thank you. |
| 2008-10-24 | Jeff | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks, please let me know if you ever run into the answer, I'm really interested too! Rugby and soccar don't use numbering systems like this and I find it odd that the numbers don't read in sequence from left to right. If I find an answer I will forward it to you as well. Do you have a general email contact or should I post to the allexperts list? Thanks, Jeff |

| 2008-09-17 | Mark | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Victor, Thank you for the explanation and looking up the ruling for me. I was under the impression that once the punter starts to run, he losses his kicker protection. I can see this isn't the case, and it is left to the judgement of the official. Thanks, Mark |

I will not dignify rude or disparaging comments with a response. I also will not entertain questions that use profanity. Football officials don't seek to “screw” any team Such an insinuation is ridiculous and ludicrous.
