They get half the distance to the first down marker and get the down back, and a repeat penalty, consecutively results in a 20 yard penalty.

I'd be fine with maxing out PI at 15 yds. I agree with no automatic 1st downs either let the yardage speak for itself. Nothing worse then the defense making a stop on 3rd and 12 and the zebras call a ticky tack defensive holding. It should be 3 and 7. Giving them another shot is bad enough dont need to give a 1st down. It would be like in baseball hitting a batter or catcher interference not only resulting in 1st base awarded but automatically reset the batting team to no outs.
