Because of the limited number of challenges, and the possible penalty of a lost flex pick, the moderators and villains typically reserve their challenges for key plays. A questionable call may not be challenged once the next stage of the competition is underway, so he or she may be forced to make a quick decision without the benefit of seeing a replay on television or on the venue's screen. Often the producers will signal to the moderator or villain if they believe the play should be challenged. | Because of the limited number of challenges, and the possible penalty of a lost flex pick, the moderators and villains typically reserve their challenges for key plays.

| + | During a scoring play (starting in 2011), turnovers (starting in 2012), or after the two-minute warning of each half, and in overtime, reviews can only take place if the replay assistant, who sits in the press box and monitors the network broadcast of the game, determines that a play needs review; coaches may not challenge during these times. In those cases, the replay assistant will contact the referee by a specialized electronic [[pager]] with a [[vibrating alert]]. If a review takes place during that time while the clock is running, the clock will stop for the review, and then it will start running once the ball is set and ready for play. Starting with the 2010 season, any reviews with the clock running inside one minute will have a 10-second rundown, which can be voided if either team uses a timeout. | ||
| + | One concern about replay that was addressed some years ago was the situation where a coach would seek a review of a non-challengeable call (such as being forced out of bounds, or in some cases to challenge a runner down by contact). Before the rule was clarified, a team would lose the challenge and a time-out. The current rule does not penalize a team in such a case, provided the rule is not abused or taken advantage of. | ||

If a play is overturned, the official is also responsible for making any related revisions to the game clock if applicable, especially in late, game-ending situations. For instance, if a player makes a reception and runs a long distance, several seconds may run off the game clock. If the play is challenged and the catch overturned, the game clock would be reset to have stopped at the moment of incompletion (presumably adding time back to the clock). | If a play is overturned, the official is also responsible for making any related revisions to the game clock if applicable, especially in late, game-ending situations.
