Have I mistakenly described your situation?

Thus the clock was stopped by an illegal act and thus A has conserved time illegally just like I read 3-6-3. If this is all true then the referee has the obligation to start the clock on the RFP.
I must really be braindead today. I meant the whole time that it would be an advantage to team A to start the clock on the snap, so yes, I started it on the RFP. We are now on vacation, and when I was going thru this I didn't have my mind on right. Thank goodness our motel has internet in the lobby. My laptop is getting repaired and I would have looked like an idiot for 4 more days.
