Question 4

3/10 @ B-25, 2Q (0:19), no timeouts remaining for either team. A12 completes a pass to A88 at the B-20
where he is downed. With the clock running down, Team A rushes their field goal unit onto the field, and all Team A players are set in field goal formation and A90 kicks the ball for a successful field goal (0:00). After clearing the play with the crew on the field, both teams leave the playing enclosure and replay gives the all clear as well. The Referee declares the half ended. During the halftime intermission, the instant replay official looks back and determines that Team A had 12 players on the field at the snap.

Answer 4

After the Referee has declared the first half ended, there can be no additional replay reviews from
the previous play.

Question 5

1/10 @ A-40. Team A snaps from the left hash, opposite their team area. A81 is flanked out to the left side of the formation and goes in motion back toward the ball.

A81 never breaks stride and is inside the hash when the ball is declared dead and continues toward the Team A team area simulating leaving the field. A81 sets near the sideline for a “hide-out” pass. Team A does not substitute and just after the next snap, A12 throws a TD pass to A81 who is running just inside the boundary.
