Title: Winding Clock After Ball Goes Out Of Bounds
Post by: CenTexZebra on September 25, 2015, 01:17:21 PM: How many chapters are having their Texas high school crew do this? This is not correct for high school, is it?

There is no reason that a 7th grade b team game should take 2 hours.

9/10/JV.... meh.

Varsity, no.

Wrong, wrong, wrong . . . unless . . . TAPPS mercy rule is in effect . . . or score of game is out of hand and coaches request you to run the clock.
