Prior to the season, the OHSAA sends me (and every other licensed official in Ohio) a booklet that contains all the state regs. Included in there are the participation rules. We are expected to know what is in these booklets. Mostly its a listing of activity dates and a list of scheduled rules meetings. However, as I said, the participation rules are also in this book. Therefore, while we are not the enforcement arm on them, the state does expect us to know what they are.
In Ohio, where every school is allowed to play 20 games; each player is allowed 90 quarters per season and 5 quarters per day. OT is an extension of the 4th quarter. The Post season OHSAA tournament does not count towards that total. There are always different officials for the JV and Varsity game, so we aren't aware of any violations. However, in the off chance that we become aware of a violation, we are expected to send a report to the state so that they can investigate.
