Question Ready For Play to Snap Time Interval

This same question is being discussed on another forum & I thought this group could add knowledge to the discussion.

Out of one of the other discussions on the other forum came a interpretation that the offense must wait for 1 second after the ready-for-play signal from "R" before they SNAP the ball. All I can find in the rules is that "A" must be set for a second before the SNAP & the SNAP must happen after the RFP.

If waiting 1 second between the RFP to SNAP is a requirement, what is the penalty on "A" they don't' wait that 1 second?

It's not a requirement. The offense can be set before the RFP and the snap can come immediately after.

A post I made about a month ago confirmed this. In fact, we (Not me) determined that A could actually use the RFP as the snap count (Say, if there is 0.6 seconds left in the half and they're trying to get off a play).
