Mercy Rule in the Tournament

[Bobref]

There has been some erroneous information circulating about the application of the Mercy Rule going forward in the playoffs. As of 1 hr. ago, per Asst. Commissioner Faulkens, the rule remains in effect through the semistate.

Thanks for the info, but since most crews never advance beyond Sectional this is information only needed to be known by a small group.

Officials are not the only ones who read the Officiating Forum. There are a lot of people on here, some of them coaches, who learn things here they wouldn’t otherwise know.

i am one of those others here that have learned a lot from this forum and am ever grateful as I have become a better informed fan because of it.
A big thank you to all of the officials that contribute to this forum.
