When does the clock start? (NF)

[Daryl H. Long]

Whether the clock starts on the ready for play or snap is ALWAYS determined by why the clock was stopped on the previous down.

Anytime there is a scrimmage kick which crosses the neutral zone and is touched or grounded and the ball becomes dead there the clock will next start on the SNAP no matter what scenario or combination of fouls, loose ball, change of possessions anyone can dream up.

PERIOD
