Starts this weekend.
Some things you should know if you are going to wager on it:
There will be no television timeouts and fewer full-screen commercial breaks.
35-second play clock
No extra points. Every touchdown will be followed by a two-point conversion attempt.
No kickoffs. Each team starts a possession after a score or at the start of a half at their 25-yard line
Instead of onside kicks, which are not allowed, teams will attempt the equivalent of a fourth-and-12 play from their 28-yard line. A conversion means it keeps the ball.
These will only be allowed when a team is trailing by at least 17 points or for either team in the last five minutes of a game.
There will be a ninth member of the officiating crew called a “SkyJudge,” who will sit in the press box and “use real-time technology to correct clear errors involving player safety anytime during a game, and pass interference inside of five minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Coaches are allowed two challenges but cannot challenge a call in the last two minutes of either half or in overtime (challenges are automatic in those timeframes).
Overtime
Each team will get the ball only once, first and goal from the 10, and they have to score a touchdown and go for two. Games can end in a tie.
