Can a penalty assessed in one quarter carry over to the next?

I am also troulbed by the term RELATED ACTIVITY used in one of the rules pertaining to this situation. I find the term too global and consequently lends itself to various interpretations. I would like to feel more confident if I have to sell this riling.Thanks,in advance, for any feedback Tom

Sorry Tom, but related activity is directly out of the rulebook. Related activity is exactly what we're talking about here. We're shooting the FTs and then we have a T. The T becomes the related activity, so now the quarter doesn't end until the FTs for the T are shot.
