Playing Time
In order to meet the requirements of the television broadcasters, the AFL adjusted the playing time allocated to each of a match's four quarters for this season. Playing time was reduced from 25 minutes to 20 minutes, however some additional stoppages attracted "time-on" allocations; the total reduction of playing time was approximately 10%.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or time:
“Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“The time at our disposal each day is elastic; the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
