Title: Try or No Try?
Post by: Rulesman on November 21, 2015, 08:52:34 PM: Team A trails by 4 points. A-88 scores (touchdown) as time expires in the 4th quarter. 8-3-2 states "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."

You make the call.

Bingo! Just take a knee to minimize the risk. (And hope you don't fumble the snap). Unfortunately, the crew chose to leave the field declaring the game over.

Well I suspect now they may but the reason it was put in a number of times was because too many answered incorrectly previously :-)

And yes, we made them do the try.

And yes, they took a knee.
