once the punt returner signals fair catch the ball is dead wherever it is contacted by the kicking team or recovered by the receiving team.

depends whose rules we are following. In the NFL and NCAA if the ball bounces the fair catch is off http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/faircatch

not sure about Canada or high school rules though.

GLB rules here... which is to say somewhat footballish.

my understanding is the fair catch protection to the receiver is off but the ball will still be dead once he or a teammate controls it or it's touched by the kicking team

no such thing as fair catch in canada. we have a 5 yard rule. cant touch the returner. its terrible.

i dont watch much CFL but i have never seen it. in highschool ball it was up to the refs to call it tbh. sometimes they would be like "you were going to get killed so we called it." happened to me when 5 guys were running at me. even with the lol5yardrule.

Yes,

if you look at section 2 article 1 subsection (m) of the dead ball rules for the NFL

it says
(m) when any receiver catches or recovers the ball after a fair catch signal (valid or invalid) has been made, provided the
ball has not been touched by an opponent, before or after it strikes the ground;

-> Dead Ball Declared


so I think provided the glb dot signaled fair catch before the ball hit the ground then GLB did right

unable to comment, i couldn't tell if the dot waved "fair catch" with his dot arms

if he didn't wave his dot arms to call fair catch, he should be able to run

this brings up a whole new argument tbh. Since dots don't have arms, should fair catches be allowed in glb?

FYP. (Of course this also brings into question as to how they throw the ball... carry the ball... or even punt/kick the ball since they don't have legs either. Running is easy... just roll baby, roll. )

Why do dots wear E.Q if they can't get injured? Do they feel pain?

are dots just made up of many smaller dots made up of many smaller dots in a cluster, all the way down to singularities, and each dot is actually a large finite number of universes because neil degrasse tyson?

Since dot's don't have arms, how do they play football? Unless they use other "arms"...
Buuuut of course, they have EQ so that'd be impossible as well.

explains why this game is such a cluster fk

I GOT IT!!!! VELCRO HELMETS!!!! This HAS to be the answer. The dots fit perfectly inside the helmets with just enough coming out the bottom to let them roll and the football is made of felt and the helmets are velcro. DOH!
