Exception: Rule 8 – Section 3 – Article 2 – Opportunity to Score

A try is an opportunity for either team to score one or two points while the game clock is stopped after a touchdown. It is a special interval in the game which, for purposes of penalty enforcement only, includes both a down and the ‘‘ready’’ period that precedes it.

………

a. The ball shall be put in play by the team that scored a six-point touchdown. If a touchdown is scored during a down in which time in the fourth period expires, the try shall not be attempted unless the point(s) would affect the outcome of the game.
Exceptions:

  1. If the scoring team is ahead by one or two points, they have the option to forego the try.
  2. The try shall not be attempted if the fourth period ends due to a running clock before the ball is snapped.
