With two seconds left on the clock, the blue C stands ready but hesitates. The whistle to end the period sounds while the ball is still in her hands and no infringement has been called.
The centre pass is ruled not taken and the centre pass to start the next quarter will be taken by the blue team.
Explanation
This is the situation described in Rule 8.7(a). As the ball is still in the blue C's hands and the blue team have not been penalised for any infringements, the centre pass is ruled not taken and the next centre pass is still to be taken by the blue team.
