SECTION 29. Timing Devices
Play Clock
ARTICLE 2. Each stadium shall have a visual play clock at each end of the playing enclosure. The play clock must be capable of counting down from both 40 seconds and 25 seconds. It should automatically default to 40 seconds and start immediately upon being reset by the play-clock operator. The play clock operator will consistently start the 40-second play clock within one second of any official signaling that the ball is dead after a play.
