The mercy rule is only used for tournament games before February 1, 2006. They just went back to what the rule was in 2004-2005. The coaches hated this rule for all games last year because they felt games were not called consistently by the officials either to get the game to the mercy rule or calling all kinds of fouls to allow the clock to run after the mercy rule was in affect.
I am not sure what you are talking about as it relates to the Class A State Tournament. Last year the mercy rule was used at all games except any State Tournament games. There was nothing special about the Class A Tournament as it related to this rule.
