Play shall be non-stop except for the last 2 minutes of each half, and then the clock stops on out of bounds, incomplete balls, and after a touchdown or safety. Each team shall receive one time out per half. Substitutions may take place only in between each down, not at all during play. Overtime will only occur in the playoffs, and will be sudden death after a 2 minute break upon completion of regulation. A safety is worth 2 points.
Teams can only change their decision about their extra point by taking a time out.
Free kicks will only be employed to start each half. A team in possession of the ball shall have 5 consecutive downs to score. On the fifth down, the offensive team can decide to go for the touchdown or rule the ball over to the other team at the opposing team's designated scrimmage line. If a team fails to score a touchdown on fifth down, possession is forfeited at the line of scrimmage. A team has 30 seconds from the time the ball is marked to put the ball back in play.
