Question: How many penalty yards are awarded when the ball is nearer the goal line than the usual penalty yardage?
Sentence: For a distance penalty, if the yardage is greater than half the distance to the goal line, then the ball is advanced half the distance to the goal line, though only up to the one-yard line (unlike American football, in Canadian football no scrimmage may start inside either one-yard line).
Answer in sentence: yes
