Fed timing question

[Warrenkicker]

I'm not an NCAA official but I don't think you have it right for NF rules. A new series is awarded only after all actions during that down per 5-1-2 are taken into account. In this case B was not awarded a new series.

3-4-2a The clock shall start with the ready-for-play signal for other than a free-kick if the clock was stopped: For an official’s time-out, other than when B is awarded a new series or either team is awarded a new series following a legal kick.

5-1-2b A new series of downs is awarded: After a fourth down, a new series of downs shall be awarded only after considering the effect of any act during the down, except a non-player or unsportsmanlike foul.

There is, however, a minor difference between NCAA and NF rules for awarding untimed downs. Your defensive facemask penalty would not extend the period using NCAA rules but would probably result in an untimed down under NF rules.
