4.09 Time Extensions

Last updated: Wednesday, December 31, 2025 - 18:04
  1. Players in MPO and FPO divisions at Majors and Elite Series events may use up to two (2) time extensions per round. A time extension adds thirty (30) seconds to the player's allotted time under 802.03.C, Excessive Time.
    1. A player uses a time extension by notifying the group in a manner understandable to all players. Players may not use more than one time extension on a single throw.
    2. If a player exceeds their allotted time under 802.03.C without using a time extension, another player in their group must call the time extension on their behalf. This does not require a second and uses one of the throwing player's time extensions.
    3. If a player is using a time extension and the playing area is no longer clear (see 802.03.F), their allotted time resets to the time specified in 802.03.C and play proceeds as if the player had not called the time extension.
  2. If a player exceeds the additional time allotted by a time extension, they receive warnings and penalties as specified in 802.03.G.
  3. If a player exceeds their allotted time under 802.03.C after using both time extensions, they receive a penalty throw under 802.03.G. They do not receive a warning.
  4. Time extensions must be noted on the scorecard.
