> [@tommie.frazier](#): > > it’s a 1 yard penalty. why not add 5 yds to the line to gain for a 1st down? I would do both… if offense commits what would ordinarily be a 5 yard penalty from their own 2, instead of 1st & 11 from the 1 (as it is now), it should be 1st & 15 from the 1. ---

Oh! That reminds me. I think one of my ideas was, the line of scrimmage gets moved into the end zone & if on the next play the offense doesn’t move the ball out of the end zone, it’s a safety. And if it’s a ten yard penalty from inside the one yard line, well, good luck lining up on-side. ---

Yeah, that must be an automatic safety…or you have to hand it off to the guy in the stands holding a beer & he can either run or throw or punt. ---

In the US, we have semifinals and quarterfinals but don’t use the word octofinals. We say round of 16 instead. They do use the octofinals word in Spanish, and it’s useful and consistent with later rounds. ---
