National Federation Discussion / Re: Game start

« Last post by Ralph Damren on October 16, 2018, 05:10:32 PM »

In baseball's American Legion post-season, if a game is suspended it begins at the point of suspension - even if under 5 innings. A couple of years ago after the lineup cards were exchanged, Thor - the god of lightening - came to visit. When the game was made up the following day we allowed new lineup cards as a couple of original starters were not available at the start. That seemed fair.....would it seem fair to repeat the coin toss ? Where the game hasn't yet started, I would say yes. You might say no. As pre-game protocol, if the coaches wanted to, I would allow. If they wanted to just start playing, I'd allow that ,too. I'm in a happy mood, as the Sox are currently beating the Astros 2-0 in the 1st  . I may not be in a happy mood after the 9th  .

New day, new conditions = new flip/choices!

Common sense

Quarter/Time?

Full game replay: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NRXaJ4ZqeOry9R24-Zc818uonIUoKwV_/view

2:41 of the 3rd quarter, replay that shows the dive on the D-Lineman at 1:46:55.  We are talking about the dive on the down rusher,  not the hold as he was rushing.

Thanks for your reply!

On this ESPN link below it is the 7th video down titled "Browning converts big 4th down pass (0:31)"

What if Team B has 4 different captains and a different Head Coach as all of the original 5 are attending a Hindu Shinko advancement ceremony in Guatemala?

Now back to the original topic....We've probably all seen highlight reels of free kicking for a field goal after a fair catch. These usually occur very near the end of half or game. In at least two, the clock has started with the kick...remember, gang, the clock shouldn't start until legally touch, just as with any other free kicks. DON'T blow your bucket-list achievement by cranking the clock on the kick ...

Adding to my situation. Are there any rules to support the situation?
Rule book says "The  game officials shall assume authority for the contest, including penalizing unsportsmanlike act, 30 minutes prior to the scheduled game time".
Can subsitute Referee overrule the original Referee?
What if team B coach insists he kickoff?
Just asking

Have y'all looked at the latest weekly game review video from Redding?  Perhaps you should.

Exactly. What if the conditions change on the same night between the time the coin toss is done and the kick. We flip it at 6:15 here in MS. We don’t allow them to change their mind if the wind changes between 6:15 and 7:00. Done is done. Same thing here I think.

If your procedure is to do the coin toss 45 minutes early, then of course, you don't let them re-do it. That's part of a regular game.

But if we cancelled the game before the coin toss, and when you resume the game 2 days later, they're on a new field (original field is used for some other event, became waterlogged or unplayable), and with a scoreboard on the opposite side of the field, I'd let them re-choose.

If it's substantially the same, I'd go with the original coin toss.

That's just me. I don't know if there is any rule support either way, as the game has not technically started because the game starts with a kickoff. So it's not a suspended game really.
