Huh ? If there is an offensive penalty inside of a minute, there is a 10 second run off, at least in the game being played by the evil empire. Last week, we were calling for it and the 7 blind mice had no idea.
I think the rule is the offending team has the option of a 10-second runoff or a timeout. Of course if there are no timeouts left the 10 second runoff happens. The penalty is taken either way...
