b. Scoring.

1 Determine whether a try for goal was a two- or three-point attempt. (Review must occur within the time frame in 2-12-3)


A.R. 29.

A1 releases a try for goal at the expiration of time for the game. The official observes a three-point field goal but inadvertently indicates the field goal to be a successful two-point goal. Before the official goes to a courtside monitor to confirm the status of the play, the coach from Team A appeals to an official for a correctable-error on the grounds that the goal was counted erroneously and three points should have been awarded.

RULING: When there is a reading of zeros and after making a call on the playing court, the officials shall be required to use the courtside monitor to ascertain whether the try for field goal was released before or after the reading of zeros on the game clock when it is necessary to determine the outcome of the game. The officials may, but are not required to, use the courtside monitor to determine whether a try for goal was a two- or three-point attempt unless the coach makes an appeal for a correctable error. In such a case, the officials are now required to investigate, which may include using the monitor, whether a correctable error occurred. When the coach's appeal is ruled to be incorrect, a 75-second timeout shall be charged or a 30-second timeout when a 75-second timeout is not available in games not involving the electronic-media timeout format. In games involving the electronic-media timeout format, either a 60- or 30-second timeout shall be charged to his or her team. When that timeout exceeds the allotted number, an administrative technical foul shall be assessed to the offending team.
