The problem involves a cross over of codes, since for whatever reason (mostly speeding up the game), the MSHSL allows the use of the ASA ITB in weekend invitational tournaments. With no rule for the ITB in the NFHS book, the problem of how to handle irregularities arises, since we have a ASA rule being used in an NFHS game. I understand your point, but since the Fed rule book doesn't address the ITB, I think we need to fall back to the ASA book and all the interpretations that go with it.
Then whatever is specified in the State adoption applies and ours does not reference the ASA POE. If "MSHSL allows the use of the ASA ITB " does, my apology.
