It applies only in the 4th quarter.
Once the mercy rule is into affect, you cannot stop the application of the rule.
The clock runs through everything except a timeout or injury.
It applies to all games during the regular season regardless of what level and what the coaches agree to.
That is all I can remember at this time. I wish the IHSA gave us a handout or some kind of reference point to confirm this rule. Because I know already someone is going to disagree and say one thing and another person is going to claim another part of this rule and we will have confusion.
Peace
