Footballjoe Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Does an extra point not take any time? The clock never runs for an extra point but it has to take at least a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Only in arena football does the clock run on the extra point attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballjoe Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 But why? It’s part of the game and time should be accounted for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been a rule basically forever, so assuming this isn't the first game (or season even) that you've watched football it should be no surprise. Why should it suddenly be accounted for now? Did you know that a kickoff may not cause the clock to move? Only if there is a a runback does the clock move, if its a touchback or even taking a knee in field of play, no time runs off. Opening kickoff of CAR-NO playoff game, Gano kicks off at 15:00, touchback, first down at 15:00. (This happens at end of half/game too, only a few [2-3] seconds left they squib kick trying to make them field the kickoff, player falls on it and takes knee, they still have 2 seconds to run a play. Or something like that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 FG's take time off the clock but Extra Points do not. Reason being, an XP is an extension of the initial score. Or something like that. 2pt conversions do not take time off the clock either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversions (kick or 2P try) after a TD are untimed downs, FG are run on an actual down and the clock starts on the snap like any other play, same for a punt. Kickoff as mentioned earlier are special and usually have time running, after the ball is caught and player returns (but no time on touchbacks or other downed kick).

Bonedaddies Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 So if you are down by 7 and score a TD with no time on the clock, you lose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
