1996 timing rules
or more appropiately 1995 timing rules were the rules in place that governed when the game clock starts. Prior to 1996, the game clock was started by the RFP after a change of possession unless the previous play was OOB, incomplete pass, fair catch (awarded fair catch), or there was a team time out, or delay of game penalty. As an example, if team A did not reach the LTG after a fourth down running play the clock was stopped to award B a new series and then restarted by the RFP.
The local youth league games have 10 minute quarters (they have playing time requirements for the players) but use the 1995 timing rules.
