Rule 68. Offer of Judgment
(2) Objections to Offer. An offeree who objects to the validity of an offer must--within 10 days after the offer is served--serve on the offeror written notice of the objections. The failure to serve timely objections waives the right to object to the offer's validity in any proceeding to determine sanctions under this rule.
(2) Apportioned Offers. One or more parties may make an apportioned offer to multiple offerees conditioned on acceptance by all of the offerees. Each offeree may serve a separate written notice of acceptance of the offer. If fewer than all offerees accept, the offeror may enforce any of the acceptances if:
The sanctions provided in this rule apply to each offeree who did not accept the apportioned offer.
If the court enlarges the effective period, the offeror may withdraw the offer at any time after the initial effective period expires and before the offer is accepted.
(3) Offers on Damages. When one party's liability to another has been determined but the extent of liability remains to be determined by further proceedings, any party may make an offer of judgment. It must be served within a reasonable time--but at least 10 days--before the date set for a hearing to determine the extent of liability.
