All possession changes, except interceptions, start on the offense's 5-yard line. Teams change sides after the first 20 minutes, but possession does not change and the clock does not stop. If the score is tied at the end of 40 minutes, teams move directly into overtime. The first team to score wins. Each time the ball is spotted a team has 30 seconds to snap the ball.
Officials can stop the clock at their discretion.
Running The quarterback cannot run with the ball. Only direct handoffs behind the line of scrimmage are permitted. Offense may use multiple handoffs. Absolutely NO laterals or pitches of any kind. The player who takes the handoff can throw the ball from behind the line of scrimmage.
