  1. EXTENDING A PERIOD

  2. Our Mission • Go over the rules for extending a period • Demonstrate our knowledge by answering the situations correctly

  3. Extending a Period • When do we do it? • What are the procedures?

  4. Extending a Period • This is a very rare occurrence, but when it happens, we need to know what to do • References: 3-3-3 and 3-3-4 • We are not talking about time for a period expiring during a down—we know that we continue to play until the down ends, even if the horn sounds. (3-3-2)

  5. Reference—Rule 3-3-3 • A period must be extended by an untimed down if during the last timed down of the period, one of the following occurs: • a. There was a foul by either team and the penalty is accepted, except for unsportsmanlike fouls, non-player fouls and fouls that specify a loss of down. • b. There was a double foul. • c. There was an inadvertent whistle.

  6. Reference—Rule 3-3-3 • A period must be extended by an untimed down if during the last timed down of the period, one of the following occurs: • d. If a touchdown was scored, the try is attempted unless the touchdown is scored during the last down of the fourth period and the point(s) would not affect the outcome of the game [or playoff qualifying]. • If (a), (b), (c) or (d) occurs during the untimed down, the procedure is repeated.

  7. Reference—Rule 3-3-4 • A period shall not be extended by an untimed down if during the last timed down of the period, one of the following occurs: • a. When the defense fouls during a successful try/field goal and the offended team accepts the results of the play with enforcement from the succeeding spot. • b. There is a foul that specifies loss of down and the penalty is accepted. The score is cancelled in the event of an accepted foul that specifies a loss of down.

  8. During the last timed down • 2-7-1: A down is action which starts with a legal snap (beginning a scrimmage down) or when the ball is kicked on a free kick (beginning a free-kick down). A down ends when the ball next becomes dead. • 2-1-1: A dead ball is a ball not in play. The ball is dead during the interval between downs.

  9. During the last timed down • So, the last timed down starts with a legal snap or free kick and ends when the ball is dead. If any of the provisions for extending happen during the last timed down, the period is extended. For instance, if there was a penalty for a defensive pass interference foul that was accepted with 24 seconds left, and the clock was started, you know that we will extend the period if A does not get the snap off.

  10. Key points • Dead ball fouls, either prior to or after the last timed down of a period, never extend the period. • Unsportsmanlike and non-player fouls also do not extend the period. • Loss of down fouls do not extend (5, all by the offense). • We have a try during the same period unless it is the end of the game and the try could not affect the outcome.

  11. Situation #1 (SG 7.33 Modified) • A 2/5 @ A-20. On the last timed down of the 1st or 3rd quarter, A1 gains 10 yards on a running play, but A2 clips @ A-25. • Ruling: B will likely accept the penalty, giving A 2/12 ½ @ A 12 ½. The quarter will be extended by an untimed down.

  12. Situation #2 (SG 7.34) • At the snap on a down in which the period expires, B1 is guilty of a substitution infraction and A2 is illegally in motion. • Ruling: A double foul; the penalties offset. Extend the period.

  13. Situation #3 (SG 7.35) • A 3/G @ B-2 with 5 seconds left in the 4th period and A trails by 5 points. A1 runs to B’s 1 foot line and is tackled there. After A1 is down , B2 piles on. • Ruling: The game is over an B wins. The penalty for B2’s foul cannot extend the period because it was a dead ball foul.

  14. Situation #4 (SG 7.III.10) • On the last down of the 2nd period, A1 loses 5 yards. B2 commits a personal foul: (a) during the down; or (b) after the ball is dead. • Ruling: In (a), if A accepts the penalty the period is extended for one untimed down. (b) The half ended before the foul. The penalty will be enforced on the 2nd half kickoff.

  15. Situation #5 (SG 7.III.12) • Punt receiver R1 is hit by K2 as he is about to catch the punt. Time expires during the kick. • Ruling: The period is extended if R accepts the penalty. Their choices: a 15 yard penalty from the previous spot with K retaining the ball or an awarded fair catch at the spot of the foul with the option to free kick (also with the option to place ball anywhere on the yard line).

  16. Situation #6 (SG 7.III.13) • The period is extended for an untimed down and after the ready for play, A1 false starts. • Ruling: The penalty for the dead ball foul is enforced and A is still entitled to the untimed down.

  17. Situation #7 (SG 7.III.14) • A1 scores a touchdown as time expires in the first period. The period is extended for the try. B2 fouls during the successful kick try. • Ruling: The period is not extended for the kickoff (foul did not occur during the last timed down). Team A may accept the penalty and replay the try or have the penalty enforced on the kickoff to start the second period.

  18. Situation #8 (10.2.2D) • A leads 21-20 with three seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. It is A's ball fourth and 1 yard to go on A's 45-yard line. A1 muffs the snap, and A2 holds while the ball is loose. B1 recovers and advances to A's 1-yard line where he is downed. During B1's advance, B2 clips at A's 10-yard line and time expires during the down. In an effort to prevent a double foul, Team B declines A2's foul. The captain of A then wishes to decline B2's foul. • RULING: Once B declined A2's foul there are no more choices. The penalty for B2's foul must be enforced because both cannot be declined. After enforcement for B2's clip, it is B's ball at A's 25-yard line for an untimed down. (3-3-3a)

  19. Situation #9 (10.5.4B) • During the last timed down of the first half, A1 retreats into his own end zone to attempt a pass, but he is downed there. During the down there is holding in the end zone by: (a) A2, or (b) by B1. • RULING: In (a), it is a safety and B would score 2 points whether the penalty is accepted or declined since the run ended in the end zone and the foul was in the end zone. If B accepts the penalty, the period is extended with an untimed down and A must free kick to B. In (b), if the penalty is accepted it will be enforced from the goal line and the period is extended. (10-5-3)

  20. Situation #10 (3.3.3F) Modified • With the score A-14, B-23, A scores a touchdown: (a) as time expires in the fourth period; or (b) as time expires in the third period. • RULING: In (a), the try will not be permitted – the game is over and the final score is A-20, B-23. In (b), the try is attempted as part of the third period.

  21. Situation #11 (3.3.3B) • Near the end of the third period, it is third and 4 for A from B's 48-yard line. A1 advances to B's 45 and during the run there is holding by B1. The penalty is accepted. At the end of the down there are three seconds remaining in the period. Because the penalty was the only reason for the clock to be stopped, it is started with the ready-for-play signal and the period ends before A snaps the ball. • RULING: A is entitled to an untimed down because it accepted the penalty for a foul which occurred during the last timed down of the period. Therefore, the period must be extended with an untimed down in this situation even though time remained and A had a chance to snap the ball before it expired. (3-3-3a).

  22. Situation #12 (3.3.3D) • With the ball at B's 1-yard line and 12 seconds remaining in the game, A1 advances to the ½-yard line. After the ball is dead, B1 fouls. The clock is stopped with five seconds remaining in the game. The clock is restarted when the ball is marked ready for play. Before A can snap the ball, time expires. • RULING: The game is ended. There is no extension of the period for an untimed down, unless there is acceptance of the penalty for a foul which occurred during the last timed down of the period. B1's foul did not occur during the down. However, if the referee judges B1 committed the foul to consume time, he shall delay starting the clock until the snap.

  23. Situation #12 (3.3.3D) Comment • COMMENT: Because it is possible B may purposely foul in a situation such as this near the end of the game, there are other provisions in the rules which will permit the referee to delay starting the clock in order for A to run a play. When either team attempts to conserve or consume time illegally, the referee shall invoke Rule 3-4-6 and start or delay the start of the clock as authorized. (3-4-6)

  24. Situation #12 (3.3.4B) • The clock is running with 10 seconds remaining in the fourth period as A1 drops back about 4 yards and intentionally grounds a forward pass to stop the clock. The penalty is accepted. The referee starts the clock on the ready following penalty enforcement and time expires before A can snap the ball. • RULING: If B accepted the foul, the game is over and there is no untimed down as A had an accepted foul on the last timed down that called for loss of down.
