EXTENDING A PERIOD
1
Our Mission
• Go over the rules for extending a
period
• Demonstrate our knowledge by
answering the situations correctly
2
Extending a Period
• When do we do it?
• What are the procedures?
3
Extending a Period
• This is a very rare occurrence, but
when it happens, we need to know
what to do
• References: 3-3-3 and 3-3-4
• We are not talking about time for a
period expiring during a down—we
know that we continue to play until
the down ends, even if the horn
sounds. (3-3-2)
4
Reference—Rule 3-3-3
• A period must be extended by an untimed
down if during the last timed down of the
period, one of the following occurs:
– a. There was a foul by either team and the
penalty is accepted, except for
unsportsmanlike fouls, non-player fouls
and fouls that specify a loss of down.
– b. There was a double foul.
– c. There was an inadvertent whistle.
5
Reference—Rule 3-3-3
• A period must be extended by an untimed down if
during the last timed down of the period, one of
the following occurs:
– d. If a touchdown was scored, the try is
attempted unless the touchdown is scored
during the last down of the fourth period and
the point(s) would not affect the outcome of the
game [or playoff qualifying].
• If (a), (b), (c) or (d) occurs during the untimed
down, the procedure is repeated.
6
Reference—Rule 3-3-4
• A period shall not be extended by an untimed
down if during the last timed down of the period,
one of the following occurs:
– a. When the defense fouls during a successful
try/field goal and the offended team accepts the
results of the play with enforcement from the
succeeding spot.
– b. There is a foul that specifies loss of down and
the penalty is accepted. The score is cancelled
in the event of an accepted foul that specifies a
loss of down.

During the last timed down
• 2-7-1: A down is action which starts
with a legal snap (beginning a
scrimmage down) or when the ball is
kicked on a free kick (beginning a freekick down). A down ends when the ball
next becomes dead.
• 2-1-1: A dead ball is a ball not in play.
The ball is dead during the interval
between downs.
8
During the last timed down
• So, the last timed down starts with a legal
snap or free kick and ends when the ball is
dead. If any of the provisions for extending
happen during the last timed down, the
period is extended. For instance, if there
was a penalty for a defensive pass
interference foul that was accepted with 24
seconds left, and the clock was started, you
know that we will extend the period if A does
not get the snap off.
9
Key points
• Dead ball fouls, either prior to or after the
last timed down of a period, never extend
the period.
• Unsportsmanlike and non-player fouls also
do not extend the period.
• Loss of down fouls do not extend (5, all by
the offense).
• We have a try during the same period unless
it is the end of the game and the try could
not affect the outcome.
10
Situation #1 (SG 7.33 Modified)
• A 2/5 @ A-20. On the last timed down of the
1st or 3rd quarter, A1 gains 10 yards on a
running play, but A2 clips @ A-25.
• Ruling: B will likely accept the penalty,
giving A 2/12 ½ @ A 12 ½. The quarter will
be extended by an untimed down.
11
Situation #2 (SG 7.34)
• At the snap on a down in which the period
expires, B1 is guilty of a substitution
infraction and A2 is illegally in motion.
• Ruling: A double foul; the penalties offset.
Extend the period.
12
Situation #3 (SG 7.35)
• A 3/G @ B-2 with 5 seconds left in the 4th
period and A trails by 5 points. A1 runs to
B’s 1 foot line and is tackled there. After A1
is down , B2 piles on.
• Ruling: The game is over an B wins. The
penalty for B2’s foul cannot extend the
period because it was a dead ball foul.
13
Situation #4 (SG 7.III.10)
• On the last down of the 2nd period, A1 loses
5 yards. B2 commits a personal foul: (a)
during the down; or (b) after the ball is dead.
• Ruling: In (a), if A accepts the penalty the
period is extended for one untimed down.
(b) The half ended before the foul. The
penalty will be enforced on the 2nd half
kickoff.
14
Situation #5 (SG 7.III.12)
• Punt receiver R1 is hit by K2 as he is about
to catch the punt. Time expires during the
kick.
• Ruling: The period is extended if R accepts
the penalty. Their choices: a 15 yard
penalty from the previous spot with K
retaining the ball or an awarded fair catch at
the spot of the foul with the option to free
kick (also with the option to place ball
anywhere on the yard line).
15
Situation #6 (SG 7.III.13)
• The period is extended for an untimed down
and after the ready for play, A1 false starts.
• Ruling: The penalty for the dead ball foul is
enforced and A is still entitled to the
untimed down.
16
Situation #7 (SG 7.III.14)
• A1 scores a touchdown as time expires in the first
period. The period is extended for the try. B2
fouls during the successful kick try.
• Ruling: The period is not extended for the kickoff
(foul did not occur during the last timed down).
Team A may accept the penalty and replay the try
or have the penalty enforced on the kickoff to start
the second period.
17
Situation #8 (10.2.2D)
• A leads 21-20 with three seconds remaining in the fourth
quarter. It is A's ball fourth and 1 yard to go on A's 45-yard
line. A1 muffs the snap, and A2 holds while the ball is
loose. B1 recovers and advances to A's 1-yard line where
he is downed. During B1's advance, B2 clips at A's 10-yard
line and time expires during the down. In an effort to
prevent a double foul, Team B declines A2's foul. The
captain of A then wishes to decline B2's foul.
• RULING: Once B declined A2's foul there are no more
choices. The penalty for B2's foul must be enforced
because both cannot be declined. After enforcement for
B2's clip, it is B's ball at A's 25-yard line for an untimed
down. (3-3-3a)
18
Situation #9 (10.5.4B)
• During the last timed down of the first half, A1
retreats into his own end zone to attempt a pass,
but he is downed there. During the down there is
holding in the end zone by: (a) A2, or (b) by B1.
• RULING: In (a), it is a safety and B would score 2
points whether the penalty is accepted or declined
since the run ended in the end zone and the foul
was in the end zone. If B accepts the penalty, the
period is extended with an untimed down and A
must free kick to B. In (b), if the penalty is
accepted it will be enforced from the goal line and
the period is extended. (10-5-3)
19
Situation #10 (3.3.3F) Modified
• With the score A-14, B-23, A scores a
touchdown: (a) as time expires in the fourth
period; or (b) as time expires in the third
period.
• RULING: In (a), the try will not be permitted
– the game is over and the final score is A20, B-23. In (b), the try is attempted as part
of the third period.
20
Situation #11 (3.3.3B)
• Near the end of the third period, it is third and 4 for A from
B's 48-yard line. A1 advances to B's 45 and during the run
there is holding by B1. The penalty is accepted. At the end
of the down there are three seconds remaining in the
period. Because the penalty was the only reason for the
clock to be stopped, it is started with the ready-for-play
signal and the period ends before A snaps the ball.
• RULING: A is entitled to an untimed down because it
accepted the penalty for a foul which occurred during the
last timed down of the period. Therefore, the period must
be extended with an untimed down in this situation even
though time remained and A had a chance to snap the ball
before it expired. (3-3-3a).
21
Situation #12 (3.3.3D)
• With the ball at B's 1-yard line and 12 seconds remaining in
the game, A1 advances to the ½-yard line. After the ball is
dead, B1 fouls. The clock is stopped with five seconds
remaining in the game. The clock is restarted when the ball
is marked ready for play. Before A can snap the ball, time
expires.
• RULING: The game is ended. There is no extension of the
period for an untimed down, unless there is acceptance of
the penalty for a foul which occurred during the last timed
down of the period. B1's foul did not occur during the
down. However, if the referee judges B1 committed the foul
to consume time, he shall delay starting the clock until the
snap.
22
Situation #12 (3.3.3D) Comment
• COMMENT: Because it is possible B may
purposely foul in a situation such as this
near the end of the game, there are other
provisions in the rules which will permit the
referee to delay starting the clock in order
for A to run a play. When either team
attempts to conserve or consume time
illegally, the referee shall invoke Rule 3-4-6
and start or delay the start of the clock as
authorized. (3-4-6)
23
Situation #12 (3.3.4B)
• The clock is running with 10 seconds remaining in
the fourth period as A1 drops back about 4 yards
and intentionally grounds a forward pass to stop
the clock. The penalty is accepted. The referee
starts the clock on the ready following penalty
enforcement and time expires before A can snap
the ball.
• RULING: If B accepted the foul, the game is over
and there is no untimed down as A had an
accepted foul on the last timed down that called
for loss of down.
