I can practically guarantee the situation above will arise, unless every HS circuit playing games within NYC adopts a rule conforming to the ordinance. It's not like pro boxing, where state commissions make & enforce both the laws and the rules.

Things may have changed since I lived in NY, but back then it was one of the cities in the country in which the school board came under the city governments jurisdiction. Thus the city could enact legislation that would affect all the schools.
