oldtimeqb Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 14 minutes ago, Titan32 said: I can tell you that coaches don't have to play their varsity players during the varsity segments and some do not...at least not for the whole designated segment. Your questions are definitely valid. I have heard coaches say the only way to ‘win’ the scrimmage is to get out with everyone healthy. It still can be a valuable dress rehearsal though. I would guess it’s more of a coach’s preference as opposed to regional/parts of the state. Some want to treat scrimmage like week 3 of the NFL preseason and starters play into the second half. Others are more like week 4 - one series and done. I think overall it’s worthwhile. But matching up against the right opponent is the biggest thing, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it also depends on the makeup of your team. If you have a ton of returning starters, you may play them for a series and then use it to develop your #2s. On the other hand, if you have a whole new team, then you might be more likely to use your starters for a larger portion since they often need every rep that they can get. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustRules Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 There are two formats approved and the coaches much choose one of them. One involves kicking plays and the other doesn't. Both have sets for "reserves". It doesn't say varsity #2, JV, or freshmen. I'm sure that varies. It's not something the officials worry or care about. It seems like the coaches have always talked through this before the scrimmage. I've sensed they usually have JV in one segment and freshmen on the other. The varsity sets may mix 1s and 2s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHJIrish Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Cathedral will be at Franklin Central, 7PM. Most coaches use this scrimmage to get most, if not all, their players on video. That way they can further evaluate what they have. Of course for some it will be a short dress rehearsal. I hope to see some Irish fans at FC Friday night!

(Mutually agreed by coaches of course.) Given the other constraints - 15 consecutive and 48 total, I could see a small A/2A not really having enough bodies to play the 15-10-12-8-8 format. That might make the jamboree format a better option? I’m not really familiar with those, I have only attended option B scrimmages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The format is far fewer plays than a normal game so if they can't handle this number of plays I'm not sure how they would handle a game the following week.

Scrimmages really aren’t publicized besides in your area. I had no idea most of those schools listed, scrimmage each other. When scrimmages began in the fall of 1995, at Lake Central, we would scrimmage Valpo. I am not sure when they stopped scrimmaging each other, but my guess would be when LC joined the DAC in 2003.
