Proper Timeout Signal

[Rick KY]

Theisey, you are correct about KY using their own manual. We have a "1st & 10" Manual which was written by our state football commissioner and several officials. It is close to the NF version with areas they saw fit to change. It is due for a version update as several mechanics have changed for use since 2001. We have experimented with changes and adopted some of them.

However, for charged timeouts this manual simply says the referee signals timeout. It does not say which signal to use. I think every official I know uses the 2 arms signal, pointing both toward the team being charged.

As I said above though, this signal is not in the chart of signals published by the NF. I think I prefer the signal 3 and point version as I saw in the Cincy/UConn game.
