Examples

Let’s look at the original question:

Team A Team B#7 – 2min .

You report the penalty, the timekeeper puts it on the clockYou return to the endzone and take up your position

The 2 wingers push each other and come face to face, cursing.You now assess:

#15 – 2min Unsport #8 – 2min Unsport

ExamplesCorrect answer

Team A Team B#7 – 2min #8 – 2min

#15 – 2min .Team A – 1 man short

#15 is on the clock and will return on goal or when 2 min is completeThis means the timekeeper may have to change the clock, if the players

number is on the clock, as #7 was originally on the clock.You will also have to make sure the timekeeper and players understand who returns. Do not leave it up to the timekeeper, you will be asking for trouble.
