At the end of the first half of play, if a team is trailing by 30 or more points, the coach of the trailing team would have the option to play the second half of play with a running clock. Quarters would remain 12-minute quarters.

If the coach does not exercise the option mentioned above, the third quarter would be played with a regulation clock. If the point differential reaches 30 or greater points during the third quarter, the quarter would continue to be played with a regulation clock. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the game would automatically change to a running clock.

A running clock means that the clock will be stopped only:
(a) after a touchdown and until the ball is kicked off
(b) during deliberations for penalty administration
(c) during charged time-outs or officials' time-outs
