First blowout game on the play clock...

[Official_21]

Last night I worked my first blowout game with a running clock. I was on the play clock and about halfway through the 3rd quarter, the Referee started using a running clock (The score by then was 42-0).

I had a bit of a hard time adjusting, since I am used to running the play clock under normal clock rules. With that being said, I know the play clock rules don't change just because the game clock is running.

And another thing I learned to start doing, since I did not know this beforehand if I am running the play clock is to keep an eye on the B as well, as he or the R may give the signal to reset the play clock.

First, I hope that this was a TAPPS game because under UIL rules there are no provisions for a running clock. Second, as you say, even if the R incorrectly directs the game clock to run, the play clock rules do not change. And finally, the B may give the 1 or 2 hand pump up signal to communicate with the R, but only the R can officially decide to reset it. If the R doesn't give the signal, don't reset it.

It was indeed UIL and a non-district game. It was approved by the AD (Not sure if it was for the school district or home team school) and both coaches.

I am not sure how it all works, since I just run the clocks and I do what the R (As well as other officials) tell me to do

I hope you're not serious.  You've never used a running clock in a UIL game?  If the coaches agree, run it and get them out of there.

UIL does need not allow for a running clock

 But we do what we gotta do sometimes
