During a varsity game, the person keeping the book during a dead ball call me over and informed me that a player from the visiting team was playing in his sixth quarter of the night. In New Mexico, a player may not play more than 5 quarters in one night.
Procedure during game:
Official #1: I said to the bookkeeper that is not our resonsibility and wanted to go on.
Official #2: The vetern official gave a T, because the player was disqualified.
What I think now:
Official #1: The player is not disqualified, because the coach was never notified. (4-14-2) Therefore, inform the coach the player is disqualifed and give 30 secs for a sub and continue play form that point. By rule, the coach was never notified and therefore the player was never disqualified, and a T was not warrented.
