No running time, but there are some NFHS remedies that need not get state association approval.

This was a nonvarsity game, could have skipped some periods, and/or reduced the time in some periods. Don't need the permission of the state association, and in fact, don't even need the approval of the referee, just the two head coaches have to agree.

If it were a varsity game, one can't reduce the number of periods, but one can reduce the time in the periods. Don't need the permission of the state association, just need the approval of the two head coaches and the referee.
