They should be 3:30 because of using a 7 minute quarter. Has there ever been any information from the state about making it 3 or is it just done incorrectly. Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks
Maybe it's being done under the "a quarter can be shortened by the mutual agreement of the coaches" rule
