"That was an officiating error. The player dove into the end zone, drawing a flag, correctly, for unsportsmanlike conduct. In that situation, the score does not count. This is different than on a normal play when there is an unsportsmanlike act by the scoring team on their way to a TD. In that situation, the 6 points stand. The crew should have not allowed the 2 points and then penalized yardage (as they did ) on the KO"

I was just wondering if you could help me with this rule. I have been talking to some other officials and they tell me it should have counted just like a TD. I was just wondering if it is in the rule book so I can show them? Thanks.

???

was it in OT???

[thumptbh]

no. sometime in the 3rd or 4th quarter i believe.

[raider red 2000]

why should the score not count?

i have heard that in OT the score would not count since there is not a kick off to impose on.

Live ball foul penalized as a dead ball foul. Points count and penalized on the suceeding (sp) spot; kickoff.

I believe you are. I think I saw something to that nature in the rule book 5 minutes ago but now I cant seem to find it.
