I want to know the answer to the following question:
What can a team do when they prefer the original outcome of a play to the situation they would have with a penalty assessed on the other team for that play?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In most cases, the non-penalized team will have the option of declining the penalty; in which case the results of the previous play stand as if the penalty had not been called.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
