If only one team is ready to play at gametime, they will automatically have the choice. In the case of overtime, there will be a 3 minute intermission prior to starting overtime. Should darkness threaten the completion of a game, periods can be shortened by mutual consent of both captains, referee, and supervisor. Each team will have the chance to score in series of four downs from the 10 yard line. If the score is still tied after each team has had a try, a second series is played, and so on until a winner is determined.
Quick punts are illegal.
On fourth down the Referee must ask the Offensive team if they want a protected scrimmage punt. Once the offense has declared their choice, the Referee will inform the Defense of the offense's choice. In the later case the Offensive team will be asked if they want a protected scrimmage punt or not. The kicking team must have all of its players, except for the punter, on the line of scrimmage. None of the players on the kicking team may move until the ball is kicked.
