OK here's a rather easy one.
The offense punts on 3rd down. The ball lands at thereceiving team's 3 tard line, rolls and hits the goaline cone(at the intersection of the goalline and sideline, then rolls into the endzone, and then rolls out of bounds. Point or no point? Anyone care to guess?

I'm gonna say no point. Ball is scrimmaged at the 10 yard line.

As the cone is considered out of bounds, the ball would be blown dead when it hit the cone. no point as the ball did not cross the goal line prior to going out of bounds. On a punt the ball is scrimmaged where the punt went out of bounds, so it will be scrimmaged at the 1 yard line.

Im thinking that the cone is out of bounds and considered part of the end.
Therefore this should be a point regardless of where the ball bounces after it hit the cone because the cone is out of bounds.
By the way this is a great idea. Im sure a few of us will learn just enough to complain about more calls but now we actually might know what we are talking about.

Point. Blown dead when it hits the cone. Ball scrimmages after at the 35 yard line.
If I'm not right, I'll just change the rule book until I am. I agree with Garrett though, these are great posts.

Well, glad to hear this is "food for thought." If that's the case consider the kitchen open. I got a ton of plays that almost always come up,....but only once a year!!,... and they perplex the heck out of everyone.
As I said earlier, if there was interest, I'd [post a new one each week. Since I was a little late this week, I'll post another one on Friday. Then every Friday we can discuss these "perplexing" plays.
Anyone else have a comment on this case.

Touchdown! Then you slam a beer, fist pump, and dive head first into the nearest water filled ditch. Keep em coming!

OK here's the answer.
1.) The cones are out of bounds.
2.) If the ball hit the cone, it would be out of bounds, prior to entering theendzone, therefore..............NO POINT.
Ball on the one. (Reg 21.2 old case book)
