IF a female passer completes a pass to a male behind the line of scrmmage, and then advances beyond the line of scrimmage, the penalty is illegal forward pass. There are no advancement restrictions on a male once the ball has been possessed beyond the line of scrimmage. A male passer cannot complete two consecutive forward passes to a male receiver. Once a male has completed a pass to a male receiver, the next completion for positive yardage must be a legal forward pass with either a female throwing the pass or receiving the pass. B. OPEN - any player can complete a legal forward pass to any other player.
All series begin with the play being open.
Open and closed plays are determined by the action of a legal forward pass and catch. Therefore, throughout a play there may be multiple possessions by males or females but the status of the next play is determined by the initial pass and catch.
