Note: the LEDs on the Game Clock will always
count down from the final LED to the first,
regardless of the quarter length you choose.
If you set the clock for 15-minute quarters,
each LED will represent 1 minute. If you set
the clock for a shorter quarter, each LED will
represent a smaller time increment.
DOWN DISPLAY
Four LEDs are positioned just below the Play
Clock. These keep track of what Down the
offense is about to run. The fourth LED is red,
letting you know that it is a critical 4
th
down
play.
PLAY CHART
The Play Chart on the right side of the game
board shows the play calls that were chosen
by the Home team and the Away team. These
LEDs will light up immediately following the
play, so you can see what play and blocking
scheme your opponent just ran.
SOUND BUTTON
The SOUND button allows you to change the
volume of the voice and sound effects at any
time during the game. There are three sound
levels: Low, High, Off. When the game is first
turned on, the volume will be set at Low.
Press SOUND to increase the volume to High.
Press SOUND again to turn the volume Off.
TIME BUTTON
Before the opening kickoff, press the TIME
button to change the length of the quarters.
The quarter length is set to 15 minutes by
default. Press TIME once to change to 10-
minute quarters. Press TIME again to change
to 5-minute quarters. Press TIME again to
select 3-minute quarters, which is the shortest
quarter length in NFL Game Time.
During the game, press TIME to stop the Play
Clock. Press again to restart the clock and
resume play.
Each side of the board is equipped with a
series of Game Dials and Buttons. While on
offense, use these dials to choose the play
you think will be most successful given the
game situation. On defense, try to guess your
opponent’s play call, setting your Game Dials
to defend against the offense’s attack.
PLAY DIAL
The Play Dial has three positions: Run, Short
Pass, Long Pass. A typical Run will gain
about 5 yards; a Short Pass will gain about
10 yards, and a Long Pass will gain 20 yards.
However, your play’s success is determined by
a combination of the offensive play, defensive
play, offensive blocking scheme, defensive
blocking scheme, and the Play Rotor result.
