I indicated the error was recognized after the OT period.

As the R, before I even consider starting the extra period I am checking the clock, counting the players and checking with my partners (I have already verified the book). As the U (or one of them) I am not giving the R a thumbs up to proceed until I know we are ready.

I think we all understand to do this but; goofier mistakes than this have happened by some pretty good officials at all levels.
