Yes, you have 15 seconds on your 3bar to sit still, or tic-tac and otherwise move... Starts the moment the ball is within touching distance of any of your 3bar figures. Before 15 seconds, the ball must leave the 3bar's range of control, either going forward, as in a shot, or backwards.

In face, you can pass backwards to your 5bar's (or even all the way back to your goal area of control) possession if the time limit is approaching and you can't see a hole with the shot/s you're using.
