Second and 7 on A’s 13. This down is closed. A-1 (man) completes a legal forward pass to A-2 (woman) at A’s 19. After the catch, A-2 guards her flag belt at A’s 22.

If accepted, enforce guarding the flag belt, 10 yards from the spot of the foul. It would be A’s ball 2nd and 8 on A’s 12. All fouls carry their usual enforcement. The next down will be open since there was a man to woman legal forward pass completion, and the ball became dead beyond the A scrimmage line. Whether the foul is accepted or declined has no effect on open or closed restrictions.
