3rd down line to gain is the A20. Team A legally snaps the ball at the A11 yard line. A2 takes the snap and runs to the A17 yard line where B11 tries to pull their flag, but instead pulls their shirt and slows down A2. A2 is able to get past B11 and is deflagged by B33 at the A31 yard line. After the play B11 sees the penalty flag and proclaims, “these dumbass refs get worse every game!”

Running play penalty & dead ball penalty

Enforce the hold from A31 (end of run) Enforce Unsportsmanlike from B39 (succeeding spot)
10 yards for both
1st down line to gain is the B20
A1 who is on offense is dribbling the ball down the field, and shoots it from 3 yds out towards the goal. To save the ball the goal keeper B0 dives for the ball with no other players around and deflects the ball from going in, by making it go out of bound through the endline.
What is:
The goalkeepers dive is legal and the play results in a corner kick for team A.
Walk me through the signals:
A3 is serving. B12 receives, B2, Sets, and B11, hits the ball. The ball is tipped by the blocker A7, A3 receives the ball, A2, sets the ball, and A8 who is on the back row hits the ball above the net as they jumped behind the 10ft line landing in front of it and next to the net. B2 receives the ball and it is going to the top of the net, B11 jumps up to try and hit the ball while their shirt drags up the net, A8 jumps up to attempt and block the ball at the same time.
What is:
Illegal Block on A8
Net Fault on B11

COREC PLAY: add to your answer if it is open or closed
1st down line to gain is the A20 yard line. Team A legally snaps the ball at the A14 yard line. A2 (male) throws the ball to A15 (male). While the ball is in the air A15 (male) pushes B21 (female) in order to create separation. A15 (male) successfully catches the ball and is able to run to the B1 yard line, where he then pitches it backwards to A12 (female) who scores a touchdown.

1st down line to gain is the A20 yard line
Play is CLOSED (male to male reception)
B12 is dribbling the ball when his jersey gets pulled and held for 2 seconds by A2. B12 maintains possession of the ball and passes it to B3. B3 with the ball enters into the goal box to make an attempt on the goal. As they are about to shoot A2 runs up behind them and slides into their ankles from the back, not making an attempt on the ball.
B3 is badly injured and grabbing his ankle which looks out of place. B12 then runs up and heads A2 in the chest to retaliate for the play that just happened.
What is:
Holding- Advantage
Slide Tackle- Red card/ejection of A2 with a penalty kick for team A.
Head but- Ejection/red card of B12 after the play.
Stop the game. Send players to opposite sidelines (break them up to avoid any retaliation from the previous play), so that supervisor can assist with injured participant. Officials keep eyes on teams and assist with anything requested by the supervisor. If 2 ejected players start anything more, call UPD.
