Taunting, Fighting & Third Foul

authored by NIRSA NIRSA Flag Football Rules Book 22nd Edition Rule 10-3-2 Page 84

Third down and goal at B’s 10. After B-1 breaks up a pass intended for A-2, B-1 taunts A-2, and A-2 retaliates by punching B-1. After seeing the covering official’s flag, B-3 taunts A-2.

The penalty for B-1’s unsportsmanlike conduct foul is cancelled out by A-2’s dead ball personal foul for fighting. A-2 is disqualified. B-3’s penalty is enforced half the distance to the goal. It will be 4th and goal at B’s 5. NOTE: Even though the yardage penalties for these fouls cancel each other out, the fouls count toward both the disqualification of the involved players and the overall team total toward a forfeit.
