Half the distance is used when a penalty has occured and the yardage that is penalized is longer than half the distance to the goal. Example: a team is on their own 10 yard line and they have a 10 yard holding penalty. 10 yards would put them in their own endzone, but they would penalize half the distance and they would start the next drive on their own 5 yard line.

Anytime the penalties normal yardage (5,10,15 yds) would put the team with the ball in the endzone or outside the field of play then the yardage is changed to 1/2 the distance to the goal. This can make some penalties worth less than 1 yd of penalty but your in a tight spot!
