I have a question for you guys:

If the losing team manages to get back to within 35 points
of their opponents, we go back to normal timimg until the
lead is grater than 35. Do you do this in your state? I'd
rather up the threshold to 40 and never go revert back and
forth between the two. I had a game last year where we were
playing ping pong with the clock administration. Just a pain
in the butt.
In Illinois it must be a lead of 40 points at the half and we never revert back and I LOVE it! With the method in your state, I can only imagine the nightmare the clock operator has!
