BEAREF, 3-4-6 in short say that if a team is trying to consume (as in this play) or conserve time illegally, the referee can start the clock on the ready for play, or the snap so they cannot get the time advantage they are trying to.

Here's a quote from the person that says that it's going to work...
"I hate to inform you…..but it does work…..they will never pick up on the first off sides and most likely not the second. In other words…you are wrong. Even in college….late in the game they start the clock again. The reason being…..if the offense is behind in the game and they are trying to score…the clock should continue to run if they jump offsides. (Otherwise every team would jump off side to stop the clock and not lose a down)." He said that this ploy was used successfully in a state quarter final game a few years back so I can't convince him that it won't work. What do I do
