3.2.4 - Risks
...
Risks are used when there is a chance of something altering the score or the outcome of the previous or next play happening.
...
Risk Name | Description |
|---|---|
Touchdown | There is a strong chance that a touchdown will occur. |
Field Goal | The attacking team will attempt a field goal. If the attacking team is within 40 yards of the end line and on their 4th Down, they will probably attempt a field goal. |
Safety | The attacking team are starting the play very close to their end zone, so they may lose the ball possession inside there or commit an infraction, leading to a 2-points scoring safety for the defending team. |
Penalty | An official has tossed a yellow flag, so a penalty is possible for either team. This will potentially affect the next play. |
Turnover | A change in ball possession may happen (in example, a pass is about to be intercepted). |
Onside Kick | The team kicking is going to do it via an onside kick, attempting to regain the possession of the ball as soon as possible. Used scarcely, it has a low success rate, but it may be used if the kicking team is trailing by a significant amount of points. |
Fourth Down | The attacking team is on their 4th down and they are going to attempt to score a touchdown. This is usually the case when they are trailing behind in the score and need to score a touchdown to maintain their chances to win the game. |
Challenge | One of the teams is challenging a decision. The decision will be reviewed by the referees. If the original action stands, the challenging team loses a time out. |
Video Review | Used when the referees are reviewing a situation that could change the outcome of a play that just happened or may greatly affect the next play. It's mutually exclusive from "Challenge" bet stop. "Challenge" is when a team requests video review, "Video Review" it's when the officials are doing it. |
Disconnect | There are connection issues. |
