  • Continue your count, note when your 3 seconds expired, and if an appreciable delay exists between that time and the horn, kill the play. This scenario is more dangerous.


  • GBTB and putting :01 is not a fair way to end the game. It is taking the game away from the players.
    I never worry about taking the game away from the oplayers. The players don't control the game. The officials do.

    No way are the officials authorized to declare a do-over.

    I vote for keeping the count and ending the game when your count gets to 3.
