authored by NIRSA NIRSA Flag Football Rules Book 22nd Edition Rule 10-3-3 Page 85

K-1 punts, R-1 catches the ball and throws an illegal forward pass from R’s 26. R-2 catches the pass and K-2 holds R-2 prior to the tag/deflag.

The Referee will present the following options to the R captain: (1) if you accept the holding foul by K-2, it is a double foul, and the ball will be punted again, if elected; (2) if you want to keep the ball, you must decline the holding foul by K-2. The Referee will mark off 5 yards to R’s 21 for the illegal forward pass, R’s ball, 1st and 19.
