stump the chump mechanics (sorry for borrowing the title)

REPLY: Like Dale said, as soon as the offended team says they want to free kick, get them set up (get yourselves set up as well!) and the R blows the ready starting the 25-second play clock. Yes, it probably will require some explanation to the offending team prior to the RFP so he knows what's happening, but there is no 1-minute intermission. Remember that the 1-minute intermission is granted "...following a try, successful field goal or safety..." and not just because a free kick is impending.
