Mcrowder,
My point exactly. Last week I had such a game on a Thursday night. When 9:00 came I, as referee, knew that the curfew was in effect. There was about 8:00 remaining in the 4th quarter and game administration didn't want to stop the game. As referee of an ongoing game, I stopped the game. I was told by game administration that I didn't have the authority to stop the game.

My concern was that if I allowed the game to continue what would be the repercussions on me by the state association. I can tell you what would happen if this came to a head. Game administration would immediately state that the referee let the game continue.

I have submitted a request for a directive from the state association on this matter. I want a definitive ruling from the state. All they have said until now is that there is a curfew, but there is no statement as to who will enforce the curfew.
