AR 3-3-4 / Length of Timeouts

I. With 12 seconds remaining in the game the trailing offense completes a pass at the 4-yd line
and calls for a timeout to stop the clock at 6 seconds. The offense captain informs the Referee
that they want to continue the game without using the full length of the timeout.
RULING: The Referee asks the defensive captain if they are happy to shorten the timeout. If they
agree, the Referee informs both teams that they will declare the ball ready, after 5 seconds
they do so.
NOTE: If the defensive captain disagrees the full 60 second timeout will be granted.
