Calling for a Replay/Reviewing a Play: There are two methods to stop a game to review a ruling on the field: (1) The Replay Official shall review every play of the game and may stop the game at any time before the ball is next put in play whenever there is reasonable evidence to believe an error was made in the initial on-field ruling, the play is reviewable and any reversal of an on-field ruling would have a direct, competitive impact on the game. (2) The head coach of either team may request that the game be stopped and a play be reviewed by challenging the on-field ruling one time during a game. A coach initiates this challenge by taking a team time out before the ball is next put in play and informing the referee that the coach is challenging the ruling of the previous play. After a review has been completed, if the on-field ruling is reversed, that team's time out will not be charged. After a review has been completed and the on-field ruling is not reversed, the charged team's time out counts as one of three permitted for that half. A head coach may not challenge a ruling in which the game was stopped and a decision has already been made by the Replay Official. If a head coach requests a team time out to challenge an on-field ruling and the play being challenged is not reviewable, the time out shall count as one of three permitted to the team during that half of the game. A head coach may not challenge an on-field ruling if all the team's time outs have been used for that half. If all team time outs have been used and a head coach signals for, and is granted, a time out, a delay penalty will be assessed. Each head coach will be permitted one challenge per game. When the Replay Official completes his review, he will inform the Referee of his decision that either (a) the ruling on the field is confirmed, (b) the play stands as called on the field, or (c) there is indisputable video evidence to reverse the ruling on the field. The Referee will announce the decision of the Replay Official to the crowd. The decision of the Replay Official is final.
