Most constituent leagues of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Conference use NCAA rules, which means high school officials in Connecticut and several other Northeastern states need to know both codes if they expect to have the maximum availability to the association. When I was in Connecticut, NEPSAC members who used NCAA rules had fields marked to NCAA specs. (The Fairchester Athletic Association of SW Connecticut and Southern New York was the only NEPSAC league to use NFHS rules as of a few years ago. I officiated a New England Championship game between a Fairchester member and another school that used NCAA rules; our Referee essentially made up a set of hybrid rules with the coaches before the game. It was a mess.)
