Correction on the North Dakota rule. The rule applies to when the clock continues to run, not when it stops.
In the second half when there is a 30+ point margin, the clock continues to run (1) on an incomplete pass (2) out of bounds (3) during the try unless the TD caused the margin to go below 30 again. We used this rule in the second game of the season. It doesn't shorten the game much in that the team ahead rarely passes the ball.
We used to have a 45-pt rule where the game was over in the second half at that margin. But, that was unfair in that you miss the opportunity to play your second-stringers. Fortunately, that was changed many years ago.
