False starts, encroachments, dead ball fouls don't count when it comes to extending the period. The foul has to be a live ball foul, other than unsportsmanlike or nonplayer or LOD fouls.
3-3-3 . . . A period must be extended by an untimed down if during the last timed down of the period, one of the following occurred:
a. There was a foul by either team and the penalty is accepted, except for those fouls listed in 3-3-4b.
b. There was a double foul.
c. There was an inadvertent whistle.
d. If a touchdown was scored, the try is attempted unless the touchdown is
scored during the last down of the fourth period and the point(s) would not
affect the outcome of the game or playoff qualifying.
If (a), (b), (c) or (d) occurs during the untimed down, the procedure is repeated.
