Pass block & timer

Darkson · Post by **Darkson** » Mon Sep 16, 2002 4:31 am

Should you stop the clock if using Pass block to intercept? I'm only asking because this ituation came up in a game (alough I did intercept so the point was moot).

Player A declares a pass to Player B, who has a clear run to EZ. Player C moves to intercept and while moving/rolling (and not deliberately taking a long time - that's just cheatin') the timer runs out. Can the 1st player continue their move?

I guess the general question is:- What hapens to the timer when I attempt actions in my opponents turn.

We housed it that the timer stops at the start of my action, and is restarted and the conclusion, unless it's caused a turnover, but is thee anything fficial?

There's nothing official on how to use the clock, but I think a good sport would stop the clock for a sec while he makes his Pass Block move.

Agreed. It's just fair to stop the clock whenever something else than the
player's move is using time (reviewing a rule, pass blocks, calling for
pizza

etc..)

Nah, you don't stop the clock for that - he shouldn't be so unhealthy!

Daguun and I are playing the same league, and we don't stop the clock for smoking, or we'd still be playing the first game of the season !

But agreed : stop the clock when you pass block !
