NFHS Football Case Plays - Rule 3 (Periods,Time Factor, and Substitutions) exam 2023.
3.1.1 SITUATION A:
The home management notifies the game officials and the visiting-team
coach 30 minutes prior to the scheduled kickoff that the halftime
intermission will be extended for homecoming activities. - -RULING: The
maximum length of the halftime intermission is 20 minutes. Any greater
extension is not permitted either by mutual agreement or prior notification.
COMMENT: By agreement of the opposing coaches, the halftime intermission
may be reduced to a minimum of 10 minutes unless there has been a delay
of at least 30 minutes due to weather in the last three minutes of the second
period (3-1-6, 3-1-6c, 3-1-6c EXCEPTION)
-*3.1.1 SITUATION B:
Prior to the game, the participating schools have agreed to a 20-minute
halftime intermission: (a) After 20 minutes have been placed on the game
clock, planned band performances are canceled because of cold weather.
Both teams arrive on the field with six minutes remaining on the game clock.
Both coaches tell the game officials they have agreed to shorten the halftime
intermission and want the game to start as soon as they have both had three
minutes to warm up; or (b) As the teams leave the field, the timer places 20
minutes on the game clock and upon reaching 0:00, places three additional
minutes on the game clock. - -RULING: In (a), mutual agreement of coaches
to shorten the halftime intermission is permitted. They may not, however,
shorten it to less than 10 minutes unless there has been a delay of at least
30 minutes due to weather in the last three minutes of the second period.
Regardless of what it is shortened to, the three-minute warm-up time always
must be added to whatever is agreed to for the halftime intermission. In (b),
the time has been posted properly. (3-1-6, 3-1-6c, 3-1-6c EXCEPTION, 3-1-7)
-3.1.1 SITUATION C:
Upon returning to the field near the end of the normal 15-minute halftime
intermission, the game officials notice one team standing quietly in front of
its bench during the entire three minutes posted for warm-up. The game
officials: (a) start the game as soon as the three minutes have elapsed, or (b)
inform the coach of that team that the team must actively warm up by
running or doing some kind of exercises. - -RULING: The game officials are
correct in (a), but in error in (b). The rules book contains no definition of what
constitutes a warm-up. It simply requires that an opportunity to warm up be
made available. (3-1-7)
-*3.1.1 SITUATION D:
Both teams are informed of a 15-minute halftime intermission. The game
officials remind the teams that the halftime intermission period is nearing an
,end, and that the three-minute warm-up period will begin immediately. Team
A returns to the field prior to the end of the halftime intermission, however
Team B is not on the field when the halftime intermission ends and the timer
immediately and appropriately starts the three-minute warm-up period.
Team B does not arrive on the field until the three-minute warm-up period
has expired. - -RULING: The head coach of Team B is charged with
unsportsmanlike conduct and B is penalized 15 yards to start the second
half. Though Team B has violated the rule by not being on the field at the
end of the halftime intermission, and by not being on the field at the end of
the three-minute warm-up period, only one unsportsmanlike conduct foul is
penalized. (3-1-7, 9-8-1g)
-3.1.5 SITUATION A:
During the second period, a cloudburst brings a torrent of rain onto a grass
field. The game officials suspend play and after a 20-minute delay determine
the field is no longer playable. - -RULING: While the game officials are
authorized to delay or suspend a game when weather conditions are
construed to be hazardous to life or limb, such as lightning, tornado alert,
etc., a heavy shower which only affects the playing conditions, may or may
not be judged by the game officials to be hazardous to life or limb. While the
game officials are the final authority on suspending play, it is a good practice
for the game officials to discuss the alternatives with game management and
representatives of both teams before suspending the game.
-3.1.5 SITUATION B:
During the third period, a thunderstorm moves into the area. The crew of
game officials huddle to assess the situation. There is disagreement among
the crew as to whether the game should be suspended. - -RULING: The
referee will make the final decision. If possible, he should involve game
administration from each school before making the final decision unless
there is no time for discussion. Risk minimization must always be the primary
consideration.
COMMENT: Game officials should study and observe the "NFHS Guidelines on
Handling Contests During Lightning Disturbances" as printed in the back of
the NFHS Football Rules Book, as well as applicable state association
guidelines. (1-1-5)
-*3.3.3 SITUATION A:
With the score B-7 and A-6, it is second and goal from B's 9-yard line. The
game clock is stopped due to an incomplete pass with four seconds
remaining in the game. A1's pass into the end zone is intercepted by B1 who
runs to his 30-yard line where he is downed. Following the interception and
during the run by B1, there is clipping in the end zone by B2. Time expires
during the run. - -RULING: If the penalty for the foul by B2 is declined, the
period is over. If the penalty is accepted, it results in a safety (two points) for
A; however, the period is not extended. If this occurs at the end of period
, one or three, the teams will change ends of the field and B will kick from B's
20-yard line. [3-3-4b(5)]
-*3.3.3 SITUATION B:
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 game 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 not entitled to an untimed down as
time did not expire during the down.
-3.3.3 SITUATION C:
During a down when time expires, A1 gains 10 yards and fumbles. The
covering official inadvertently sounds his whistle while the ball is loose. - -
RULING: The period shall be extended for an untimed down and A may put
the ball in play where it lost possession or it may choose to replay the down
from the previous spot. (3-3-3c)
-*3.3.3 SITUATION D:
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 game clock
is stopped with five seconds remaining in the game. A has the option to start
the game clock on the snap, but chooses to start the game clock on the
ready-for-play signal. The game 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 that occurs during a down
in which time expires. 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.
COMMENT: 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
game or play clocks as authorized. (3-4-6, 3-4-7, 3-6-2f, 9-10-2)
-3.3.3 SITUATION E:
A1 breaks free on B's 20-yard line and is near the goal line on a run which
will score the go-ahead touchdown. Just before entering the end zone, A1
turns and taunts B1. Time in the fourth period expires during the run. - -
RULING: The touchdown is scored and the unsportsmanlike foul by A1 cannot
be penalized. While such situations do not occur frequently, it must be
recognized that at some point penalty enforcement is ended. If the try is
required for playoff qualification, the penalty is enforced on the try. (10-4-5a)
-3.3.3 SITUATION F:
With the score A-14, B-23, A scores a touchdown:
