Impartial_Observer Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I am not a fan of changing the rules during a tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobref Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I’m not sure of the logic here. If anything, the Mercy Rule use should be more limited, not less, during the playoffs. The IHSAA apparently feels the same way, since the Mercy Rule is not applied at the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tango Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 In lop-sided games, the sooner it ends the better to reduce the chances of incidents like what took place last night between FW Wayne and Mississinewa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tango Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I'll give credit to the crew we had last night at Northview. At one point when it was becoming clear Memorial was controlling the game and frustrating the Knights, things began to get chippy. Quick offsetting unsportsmanlike-like conduct penalties pulled things back into check for the most part. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants were subbing out in the second quarter up 49-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the regular season, coaches might be reluctant to sub prior to the 3rd quarter to keep a JV team intact. During the postseason, there's no reason Junior Johnny and Sam Sophomore (who will be studs next year, just watch) can't get some meaningful snaps in the first half. This is especially true with a developing QB or RB. Let them work a series or two with the starting OL to see what they can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XStar Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I don't like it for regular season games so I for sure don't want it late in the playoffs as well. I'd just as soon do it like baseball and the ten-run rule. If the game is out of hand, just end it rather than institute a running clock. When a team scores to go up 42 or more, end the game the next time they gain possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players may want to play full quarters too but if the decision has been made that the game should be altered due to a lack of competitiveness then we've already determined that this is more important than what they want.
