My Answers
Here are the answers I have:
Play 1 Answer: Clock should never start on this play because the clock does not start on first touching violations by K. R will take the ball at the first instance of first touching by K. It will be R’s ball 1st and 10 at the K-47. If any time ran off the clock, the game clock should be reset to 12:00.
Play 2 Answer: The clock should start when K2 touches the ball. Even though K2 is first to touch the ball, this touching is not “first touching”. Because the quarter ends because K3 was legally in possession of the free kick, K will have possession of the ball to start the 2nd quarter at the R-45.
Play 3 Answer: Game clock will start on the ready-for-play. If the game clock expires, team K must still run a play because there was a penalty accepted for a foul that occurred during the last timed down of a period.
Play 4 Answer: Clock starts on the ready-for-play because it was running. If the clock expires, there is NOT an untimed down because the foul did not occur DURING the last timed down of the period. It occurred BEFORE the down started.
Play 5 Answer: Team A will take the roughing the passer penalty and will keep the ball. In (a), because team B was not awarded a new series as a result of the foul, the clock starts on the ready-for-play.. In (b), because B went out of bounds, the action that caused the down to end also caused the clock to stop. Therefore, the clock will start on the snap.
Play 6 Answer: In (a), because the foul would result in a first down (a new series) for K, the clock would start on the snap If K wanted to decline the penalty, the clock would start on the snap because B/R would be awarded a new series following a legal kick. In (b), if A accepted the penalty, the clock would start on the ready-for-play because K or R was not awarded a new series following a legal kick. It would be K’s ball 4/4 at the R-45.. If time expired before the down was replayed, K would need to run an untimed down. If K declined the penalty for the foul, the clock would start on the snap and R would have the ball.
Play 7 Answer: The 3rd quarter would be extended by an untimed down and the official who blew the whistle is buying dinner for the rest of the crew.
Play 8 Answer: The play results in a touchdown, but because Team A committed a foul that specifies loss of down (an illegal forward pass) on the last timed down of a period, the score is cancelled and Team A will not be permitted to run an untimed down. Team B wins the game.
Play 9 Answer: Declining the penalty would result in a touchdown for Team A so B’s only real option is to take the penalty for A’s foul. Because ineligible downfield does not carry loss of down, Team A will have the opportunity for one untimed down from the B-17.
Play 10 Answer: In (a) the clock will start on the ready-for-play. If Team B accepts the penalty, Team A will be given an opportunity for an untimed down. If Team B declines the penalty, Team A must run a play before the game clock expires of the period is over. In (b), the game clock starts on the snap so Team B will likely have the penalty for the foul enforced.
Play 11 Answer: Clock will start on the snap because the action that caused the down to end (the fair catch) also caused the clock to stop.
Play 12 Answer: In (a) the clock will start on the snap because the action that caused the down (player going out of bounds with the ball) also caused the clock to stop. In (b), the clock will start on the ready-for-play because the action that caused the down to end (player tackled inbounds) does not cause the clock to stop. The clock was stopped for an official’s timeout following a change of possession. Because B was not awarded a new series and because a player was tackled inbounds, clock starts on the ready-for-play.
