Kickoff Fair Catch Awarded Fair Catch Touchback Safety Try For the start of each series using an overtime procedure

A free kick shall be made from any point between the inbounds lines and on K s free kick line. Once designated, K must kick from that spot. Talk to the Kicker!!! Avoid Problems. 2015 Changes!!

The captain may choose to free kick or snap anywhere between the inbounds lines on the yard line through the spot of the fair catch. This choice remains if a dead ball foul prior to the down , or a foul or inadvertent whistle occurs and the down is replayed.

Before the ready to play signal, A may designate the spot from which the ball is put in play anywhere between the inbound lines. A team has the same privilege if the down is replayed or a dead ball foul occurs.

A free kick shall be made from any point between the inbounds lines and on K s free kick line. A punt may be used for a free kick following a safety. If Punted, the Ball Must be Kicked Within 1 step Behind K s Free Kick Line 6.1.2

After a touchdown, the scoring team shall attempt a try during which the ball is snapped from a spot designated by A anywhere between the inbounds lines on B s 3-yard line, unless moved by penalty.
