Can you shut the board off before the 3 seconds expire ?

yes you can stop the board whenever you want, but it will not stay on more than 3 seconds on a pass play.

I'm not ripping your rules, I just wanted to delve into the thinking behind that one, Lo!

thanks for the comment, Jimbo....no ripping, thanks.

Since we play FOB (front of the base) tackle, I don't think that (hail mary) was considered in the rules.....
