Anybody have the most current TAPPS rule exceptions? Can’t find anything on the TAPPS site, or the TASO site.
Help!

I didn't know TAPPS exceptions were a thing? I thought they just used NCAA/TASO rules and interps.

I found their Exceptions, and they seem to be 'borrowed' from the UIL, almost verbatim, with "TAPPS" inserted where UIL would have been.
I'm good.

2 exceptions that I know are the mercy rule. I believe up by 40 or more in second half. Running clock. Stops on TD, injuries and actual called timeouts. Second. Players are allowed to wear guardian caps. Must be color of team helmet.

I'am wandering off the reservation (NFHS) here, but our mercy rule guideline is TIPS. Up by 35+ in 2nd half, clock only stops on: Time outs, Injury, Penalties, Scores. I'm  ???, TAPPS must include something more than our TIPS. Can you share ?? ^talk

Found this too.

The TAPPS Football Exceptions for 2024 shall include the following changes.
NCAA Rule 1-4-11.a
TAPPS Exception:
TAPPS member school teams are allowed to use video and data technology (computers, tablets, ipads, smart phones, etc) during the contest and at intermission. The use of technology is limited to the press box, locker room and sidelines during the contest.
Larger devices including tv’s are not allowed for this purpose.
The game officials will not be responsible for enforcement of the rules governing the use of technology.
If any team personnel engages an official with any video technology to dispute or review a play, an Unsportsmanlike Conduct foul shall be assessed to the team personnel in question.

I then have to assume that TAPPS stands for Texas...something. NOT refering to Maine's TIPS under the running time mercy rule yEs:. Each NFHS state can form their mercy rule. My favorite is Connecticut's : if a team wins by 50 or more, their headcoach is suspended for one game. 8]

Ralph, Texas HS sports and other competitive activities are governed by several different organizations. The University Interscholastic League (UIL) governs all public, I.e., tax supported, schools. The Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) governs most non-public schools. There are a few other smaller organizations that govern other non-public schools.
The UIL does not have a ‘mercy’ rule of any kind for 11-player football. They do have a rule for 6-player football, which is once a team is ahead by 45 or more points at the end of the second period, game over. That’s it. No monkeying with running clocks or anything else like that, although some coaches may request such action. Sadly, some officials will permit such clock running, etc., when requested, but they shouldn’t.
As for TAPPS, yes for 11-player football, they have a running clock thing for 40 points or more, as described by Txgarza. And for TAPPS 6-player football, they follow UIL exceptions, I.e., once a 45 or more points differential is reached after the second period, game over . (Had that happen for me just last night.)
