One-minute warning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The One Minute Warning or The One Minute Timing Rule is a rule in the Arena Football League that dictates the flow of the game in the final minute of a half.
[edit] Procedure
At the one minute mark of any given half the referee will announce "One Minute Timing Rule in effect". This means the rules will drastically change.
[edit] Rule Changes
First, the game clock goes from a continuous running clock (except for scores and time-outs)to a clock that mirrors NCAA rules (stopping on first downs, out of bounds, incompletions, etc.) However, there is no "taking a knee" in arena football during the final minute if the offence is ahead. The offence must advance the ball at least 1 yard to keep the clock running.
