2008 MINI MISSIVE #9


RUNNING PLAY (2-30-4)


Rule 2-30-4-a: A running play is any live ball action other than during a free kick play, a scrimmage kick play or a legal forward pass play. NOTE: The interval from the start of the snap until a player gains possession is a running play. This running play has no related run although the basic spot is the previous spot. Rule 10-2-2-c-2 would appear to apply for penalty enforcement.
