Injury Near Period End

authored by NIRSA NIRSA Flag Football Rules Book 22nd Edition Rule 3-4-8 Page 40

Near the end of the 1st period, K-2 falls to the ground and is slow to get up: (a) the nearest official declares an official’s time-out for injury, or (b) K-2 gets up and leaves the field under their own power without an official’s time-out being declared. In both cases, the Referee then signals the ready-for-play and time expires prior to the next snap.

In (a), K-2 is an injured player and must remain off the field for at least one play. In (b), K-2 may participate for the first play of the 2nd period.
