But around here, HS varsities play on Saturdays (not enough fields with lights, not many colleges have football with much following), and there are circuits of schools that don't belong to their state HSAA, and there are states whose HSAA doesn't use Fed for football, so you never know.


Not most, but maybe more than you think. Most adult nonacademic football is played under the current or previous season's NFL rules or a slight modification of them. In any given year in New York City, I think there are more games of football under such rules than under NCAA's.

USFA rules are catching on, I understand.

Is there even a glimmer of a point here? I don't always get along with JR, but he'd dead on here. This is simple. If you have a question about a specific rule set, post it. if you don't know whether a certain answer is about a certain rule set, and it's not clear, ask. Most of the time it's FED, and yes - if someone says Friday night you can probably assume it was FED. If it wasn't, it's their responsibility to say so, or they will get a wrong answer from this group.

I don't understand what you're even arguing about.
