We have a running clock rule for tournaments only before February 1. It does not apply to any regular season games or normal state tournament games. The rule is a 30 point deficit in the 4th quarter. And if the score comes back to 29 points the clock still runs.

This is the only place I feel it is OK to have such a rule as basketball is a game with a clock that for the most part constantly runs. And the rule only applies if the tournament director allows for the rules to be in place. If they refuse then normal rules apply. I can see why this is the case as tournaments run a tighter schedule and it is not hard to get off schedule based on a long game.

Peace
