[QUOTE="ttsather, post: 175600, member: 873"] At risk of being redundant (because I think I'm going to end up saying the same thing), I believe that part of challenging the spot is the declaration of a specific desired end to the process. In this case, league rules state that the only possible desired end of a spot challenge is to give or take away a first down, which then becomes the assumed declaration. The timeout aspect plays into whether or not the desired outcome is achieved, which it was not, even though there was a change in the spot. So, it's more than asking the officials to "review the spot of the ball" - rather it is "challenging that a reviewed spot of the ball will allow (or not allow) for a first down". That said, I'm not a big fan of the referee using an off-center camera angle to make spot judgments with the burden on the challenging team that the result [i]must[/i] be an active change to the down in question and not just the spot of the ball itself. I'd consider eliminating the ability to challenge spots in the first place. [/QUOTE]
