In FL and NC, we follow the interpretation that Mike originally posted. And, as Tom stated, since this is a state association decision, you should abide by what your state decides.
Also, while the Guide that George Demetriou and Rogers Redding have written is terrific, it is not without errors. I wouldn't call this an error but it's certainly not the rule in every state, anymore than starting from the 10 yard line is.
BTW, if you do find an error in the Guide, they are very receptive to communication regarding it.

Tony-
I don't understand your point.
The question I thought I was answering is this:
If the standard NFHS (The one in the NFHS Rulebook) is being used; do UNUSED second half timeouts AND UNUSED OT timeouts carry over into additional overtimes?
The answer to that question as per George Demetriou, Rogers Redding and Dick Schindler is YES THEY DO?
I can't speak for other states but I can for Oregon and Washington where the first two overtimes are from the 25 yardline, 1st and ten. Third and subsequent OT 's are from the Ten, where it is first and goal. Nothing else is modified and as such any unsued timeouts would carry over.
I would be real interested if any states uses the NFHS overtime procedure but modify's the timeouts so they don't carry over. Are you saying you are aware of some states that do modify the timeouts from the NFHS rulebook? I would be interested in reasearching this. Please provide me which specific states if you know of any!
On another note I would be interested in the "errors" you have found in the NFHS Football Rules Study guide as they will most likely make a good topic on this forum!
Thanks
