Fair Catch Free Kick rule
« on: February 04, 2013, 04:34:02 PM »
On the "fair catch free kick" can a kicking tee be used or must the place kick be
held as with a normal field goal attempt?


Also, a timeout can only be called by the head coach or a player on the field;
can any official grant a timeout or only the ref?

Can't answer your second question, but as to the first.  It's a free kick, so a tee may be used.  Team B lines up 10 yards away, just like a kickoff.

Best regards,

Any official that acknowledges a coach or player wanting a timeout should immediately signal the clock to stop and grant the timeout.

No tee can be used for a fair catch kick.
