A 4/G @ B-2 clock on the ready


Why do you stop the clock after the kick and start it again on the ready? There was no change of possesion and there was no new series of downs awarded. I could not find a situation in the rules that covers this exactly but I think with the two criteria I stated that the clock should not be stopped unless there is a time out called. Am I mistaken or missing something else?

P.S. I think the rest of your rulings are good.
I agree with your question regarding the clock. Unless A calls timeout ( assuming they have one left) the clock would continue to run and I suspect there would not be enough time to get off another play. Overtime guys!
