Art. 3 . . . A period or periods may be shortened in any emergency by agreement of the opposing coaches and the referee. By mutual agreement of the opposing coaches and the referee, any remaining period may be shortened at any time or the game terminated.

Are these two separate events or does the second sentence clarify the situation in the first sentence? What is the definition of an emergency? If one team is winning 50-0 at the half, can that be considered an emergency? How much can a period be shortened?

Do any other officials from Alabama know the State's stance on this subject?
